Hey! This is my #Introduction 👋

I've lived in #brisbane most my life. I'm a husband and dad to two kids. I used to play tricks on them, but these days they play tricks on me.

I'm the CTO at The Lookout Way where we make a care management platform for Aged Care and NDIS service providers, workers, and families.

I make my own software too: https://antennamate.com, https://readblindly.com, and https://namestork.app.

I was previously @tatey@mastodon.social.

I admire my partner for spending her Thursday night making a spreadsheet of all the parties and independents in our electorate and ranking based on policy. It’s effectively our own how-to-vote card.

Negative 😅

Eldest is coming home with a sore throat and temperature 😱

It’s clear!

Today we finished migrating our #rails app from webapcker to esbuild + postcss. Compilation is now 2.5x faster. 🎉

I may or may not have just encouraged a bunch of people to play https://agar.io over lunch 😬

The way Fantastical lets you show a different time zone on the right hand side of the window is a delightful touch when you’re scheduling across time zones. #macOS

“Brisbane flood review labels event 'worst-case scenario', emergency alert system to be upgraded”

The cover of this report is both beautiful and depressing.
