I audit by day. The rest of the time, I build AI tools that make work faster, in finance, assurance, and beyond. I am excited about where it goes next.
02About
Auditor by day, builder at night.
I graduated from UNSW with a Bachelor of Commerce and now work as an external auditor at KPMG Australia, mostly in financial services, with a focus on insurance and reinsurance.
I learn new tools quickly and like work done cleanly and efficiently. I think AI will change how finance and audit work gets done, so I use agents in my own workflow, mentor colleagues on them, and keep building. This site is where that building lives.

Asian fusion at home, dumplings wherever they are done well, a nice moscato, dark chocolate at unreasonable hours, and a long running search for the best cold brew. Melbourne’s Mont Blanc is currently ahead.

Building agentic systems, pushing at what they can actually be trusted to do, and making audit work less manual than it has any right to be. Plenty of it is vibe coded, then checked properly, down to the database migrations.

Indonesian equities, most of the time. Research first: index flow, ownership webs, and working out how the money actually moves into IDX.
