About

I'm a senior full-stack developer at Access Group Australia. I look after 40+ production WordPress sites across 40 brands, lead a team of six developers, and built the group's headless CMS on Builder.io and Next.js.

I've been building websites for 15+ years, mostly for Australian and US companies: WordPress and WooCommerce sites, Shopify themes, Laravel apps and, since 2019, React and Next.js front ends. After that many sites, I know where old ones keep their forms, redirects and SEO history.

Outside work I build small apps I actually use, like a budget tracker and a job board scraper, and run them on my own server. That's where I try new parts of my stack before they reach production.

Highlights

Things I've shipped or led, at work.

    Leading a team of six developers

    Plan and assign the development work across 40+ production sites for 40 brands.

    Access Group Australia

  • Migration

    Redirect architecture for the WordPress to Next.js move

    Designed how old URLs reach new pages as sites move off WordPress: Cloudflare Bulk Redirects at the edge for legacy paths, and Next.js redirects for patterns that follow the new routes.

    Access Group Australia

  • Data

    Warehouse-first plan for identity resolution

    Recommended making BigQuery the place where people are matched across form submissions, to close the gap between master IDs and per-submission IDs coming from Firebase.

    Built a working web app prototype that replicates the company's performance framework.

  • Integration

    Form leads straight into Iterable

    Connected the Access Hire off-hire form to the Iterable API through Contact Form 7 PHP hooks, so submissions no longer depend on SMTP email delivery.

  • SEO

    SEO baseline for Access Indigenous

    Set up the baseline in SEMrush so rankings can be compared before and after site changes.
