About
Hey! My name is Liam. I’m a software engineer at Max Kelsen. I'm also wrapping up my final year as a computer science and electrical engineering student at the Queensland University of Technology. My primary drive in life is to improve the lives of others through technology. I just want to build cool stuff, with the hope that what I create will have a lasting impact on those who interact with it. I love tough problems, and I especially love working with a team of like-minded individuals in order to solve them. I have a keen interest in software development, graphic design, human-computer interaction and machine learning.
Skills
Overview
Development
Development is my craft. I love that it allows me to be creative,
solve complex problems, and ultimately build something great. I
always strive to develop clean, clear, performant, responsive and
high quality code.
Design
Creation is core to the human experience, and I am incredibly
passionate about producing work that hits the aesthetic sweet spot,
and hopefully inspires others in their own creative endeavours.
Operations
There is no point making a product if no one can see how awesome it
is! I love architecting scalable, highly performant and fault
tolerant solutions, or developing tooling to assist with the
deployment process.
Teamwork
Team work makes the dream work! I am super passionate about sharing
knowledge, collaborating, learning from or mentoring others and
ultimately just working together as a team to make great things.
