Head of Engineering at Octfolio, a multi-tenant compliance SaaS for AU/NZ government and enterprise clients. 10+ years of full-stack PHP/Laravel. Hands-on every day — writing code, reviewing PRs, and shaping architecture alongside a small team. That's where I like to be.
Lead engineering on a multi-tenant compliance SaaS serving Australian and New Zealand government agencies and enterprise clients. Recent work: a big codebase overhaul (legacy monolithic PHP → modular Laravel monolith), customer-facing AI assistants with prompt engineering and prompt-injection testing, a React Native mobile rebuild, and a full Azure infrastructure migration. Along the way: a multi-tenant timezone normalisation to UTC, and reconciling years of tenant-database drift.
Built and operate Australia's largest virtual airline — a custom flight simulator community platform on PHP/Laravel that I designed and maintain solo. Production MySQL schema from scratch, OFP ingestion, LLM-assisted flight-report validation, and an Electron desktop client for live telemetry.
