Innately curious with a passion for learning and problem solving, I have spent my professional life working to improve society as an officer of the Australian Public Service. As I look to transition into tech, I am motivated by the idea that technology offers a means of scaling effort, to orders of magnitude beyond what can be achieved with person-power alone. I see tech and tech skills as a force for positive change that opens up a multitude of opportunities, not only to help individuals but to contribute to better societies and, even if only incrementally, a better world.
