Life Beyond Shipping Apps

Family life keeps me grounded: I’m married to an incredible Vietnamese partner, and together we’re raising our son (11 months), born in December 2024. When I manage to steal solo time, you’ll find me chasing miles on Auckland’s coastal runways, tinkering with AI workflows, or geeking out over the latest VR headset. Evenings are for anime marathons—My Hero Academia is the current binge, joining past favorites like Death Note, Naruto, Frieren, Re:Zero, and Shangri-La Frontier. Weekends usually involve e-bike rides, hikoi around Aotearoa’s trails, or deep dives into gadgets that make family life a little more fun.

If we ever meet in person, there’s a decent chance I’ll show up straight from a run, ask what AI tools you’re experimenting with, compare notes on VR headsets, and recommend at least one anime arc that made me think differently about storytelling.
