Across it all, I care about what systems let people do and what they make harder.

About.
I study mechanical engineering in Melbourne. Alongside it, I work on civic infrastructure and private, local-first software.
Outside engineering, I make music and film, and write about technology, power, and culture. Whatever I’m working on, I keep asking the same thing: what does it help people notice, remember, and choose?
Engineering keeps me close to matter; music and film keep me close to people.
