02 / About

About me

I grew up in Wollongong, with the surf on my doorstep. A move to Munich led to LMU, then FlixBus. Today, Mexico City is home.

Before Decaf, I worked on marketing automation at FlixBus, an accessibility app for the Deaf community, and developer tools for Solana.

I also serve as Curator of the Global Shapers Mexico City Hub, working with other members on community projects.

Outside work: surfing and following Aston Villa.
