// about me

👋 I’m Todd, a full stack web developer living in Wellington, New Zealand. I build tools and apps for the web, mostly using Vue, Node, and Hasura. Check my setup here.

I grew up around Sydney, Australia and was living in Singapore before moving to New Zealand in 2019. My career started with studying economics and practicing accounting + corporate finance. I started my first business in the ESG sector before it was cool. We grew a team of ten talented engineers, saved a whole bunch of industrial energy, then I sold up to move onto the world of tech.

After all, I was still in my early 20’s at the time.

I started doing some product management for a few startups, moved onto making stuff using no-code tools (before it was called no-code) and eventually taught myself programming. I haven’t stopped building stuff since.

Maybe the easiest way to understand me is to see how little I put on my plate. I work best on a rough schedule with only two or three things ‘planned’ for the day.

My week usually looks like this:

— Monday —

• Watch the MotoGP race from early hours of the morning (when in season)
• Spend an hour at the local Finish sauna
• Client work

— Tuesday —

• Kickboxing
• Client work

— Wednesday —

• Write in my journal at a local cafe
• Either full or half day of client work

— Thursday —

• Kickboxing
• Working on a startup or side project

— Friday —

• Write in my journal at a local cafe
• Working on a startup or side project
• Lunch, drinks, or a call with friends

— Saturday —

• Watch the MotoGP practice from Friday (Europe time usually)
• Catch up on economics / programming content from Youtube
• Maybe read a book
• Go for a walk up the mountain
• Lunch, drinks, or a call with friends

— Sunday —

• Watch the MotoGP qualifying from Saturday (Europe time usually)
• Head out for a motorcycle ride
• Roast something in the kitchen
