Hello I'm a software engineer who loves building products that help people. I'm really excited by using AI and Python to lower the barriers to entry to coding for fun and profit.
I currently work at an AI customer support startup called Lorikeet based in Surry Hills and focus on improving conversation quality. Previously, I worked at Canva, also based in Surry Hills, and focused on improving search quality. And prior to that, I studied Computer Science at UNSW.

Session
There is a lot of hype swirling around about AI coding. But there are many sceptical developers who have tried AI coding tools and found them rubbish.
This talk aims to move beyond the hype and focus on AI coding best practices as technology stands today. These tips are applicable for developers who write code everyday and people who haven’t written a single line of code. Don't expect to become a 10x developer overnight. But with the right habits, you might get 10% more productive and a lot less frustrated.
Note this talk will focus on using CLI-based coding agents (e.g. Claude Code), rather than AI auto-completers in IDEs (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor).
