About
Work ethic first,
engineering second — now both.
I've spent 3+ years working across assembly, warehousing, construction and live production — the kind of jobs where showing up and doing it properly actually matters. Now I'm studying Electrical & Electronic Engineering at Victoria University of Wellington, bringing that same work ethic to circuits and code.

Experience
Where I've shown up.
City on a Hill — Church tech team (volunteer)
Live production team keeping services running without distraction. Teamwork and time management under real-time pressure.
Construction — Event & seasonal crew (casual)
Christmas-tree and concert pack-down crews. Fast, physical, safety-conscious work on tight schedules.
Chilly Box — Yard worker, packer & store assistant (part-time)
Packed food orders, kept stock moving, maintained freezers, yard and site — the unglamorous stuff, done right.
Beta Solutions — Assembly & testing (casual)
Assembled and tested hundreds of complex products: LCD screens, glass fronts, PCBs. Built shelving systems and supported the wider team.
