I usually record sightings of New Zealand alpine natives, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world.

Professional

I have over a decade of experience in embedded systems, and currently work as a Firmware Engineer for Microsoft Surface solving tricky issues in the firmware, dipping into the hardware layer when required.

I am proficient in C, C++, C#, PowerShell, Python, as well as understanding things from the hardware up to the frontend. Yes, I am full stack! Although my preferred location in the stack is closer to the bare metal, or writing automation pipelines and utilities.

Outside of work I enjoy inventing electronic prototypes, typically for Home Automation.
