Technical problem solver.Computer Science student.I build things too.
Since 2019 I've worked on the technical side of support at Toggl: reproducing bugs, reading error traces, testing in staging, poking at APIs, and handing engineers issues they can actually act on.
The more time I spent working out why software misbehaved, the more I wanted to understand what was underneath it. So now I'm also studying Computer Science at Massey University, and building and shipping software of my own.
01Selected work
Projects I’ve built outside work and study, taken from an idea to something deployed that people can use.
A daily numerical trivia game where getting close counts.
One numerical trivia question a day, and five guesses to get as close as you can. Somewhere between trivia, estimation and deduction, Tenish went from an idea to a live game with real players in September 2026.
A health-habit app that starts small and builds up, instead of handing you every target on day one.
A progressive health-habit app designed to build sustainable routines by introducing achievable goals gradually. It tracks activity, nutrition, hydration, sleep and workouts, and uses phases, streaks and achievements to encourage consistency.
A household chore tracker: parents assign and approve, kids check chores off and earn points toward rewards.
Built for our family of four. Parents set up chores and a rewards catalog; kids tick things off, build streaks and save toward rewards, including ones they split with a sibling. Most of the interesting logic lives in Postgres.
A simple academic progress tracker built for New Zealand university students.
One place to record papers, assessments and results, and see what they mean for your overall progress. I built it for myself, shared it with the Massey distance-learning community, and about 75 people signed up within 12 hours.
Meal planning for households where “just eat something else” isn't a useful solution.
A household meal-planning app designed around safe foods first: individual safe-food lists, custom meals, weekly plans, nutrition totals against individual targets, household sharing, barcode scanning and 30-day exports.

03About
I've spent years working at the point where users, software and engineering meet. Someone says “it's broken”, and my job is to work out what “it” is, why it's happening, and how to explain it to the people who can fix it.
Doing that for long enough made me curious about the layer underneath: not just that something failed, but why the system behaved the way it did. That's what led me to study Computer Science, and to start building products myself.
I like figuring out why things behave the way they do, debugging, learning systems I've never seen before, and taking an idea from “this should exist” to something people can actually use.
I use AI-assisted development tools extensively when building my projects. I define the product, requirements, behaviour and design, then work iteratively with AI to implement, test, debug and refine them.
It's allowed me to take ideas from problem to deployed product quickly, while I continue developing my own software engineering skills through my Computer Science degree.
Grouped by where I’ve actually used them, rather than scored out of ten.
