Recent Projects

🌏 Nemo Cloud

At Save Nemo, the team builds and deploys affordable, self-sustaining mooring buoys in coastal regions worst affected by climate change. These buoys include sensors up and down the mooring to collect data in near-real time and ping the telemetry back via cellular uplink. Nemo Cloud is the dashboard where our IoT data is made available for monitoring. For our solution we won the Google Social Impact Challenge 2018 and were placed 23rd / 2600 applicants at the Google AI for Social Good Challenge.

💵 Finappster

Finappster is a New Zealand fintech startup that aims to provide retail investors with strategic value-aligned investment insight and greater investment transparency. It facilitates the ease of understanding as to how socially responsible individual funds are. Responsible Investing (also known as socially responsible investing, ethical investing, and impact investing) has become a large focus in recent years. I am working with the organisation and a development team to architect a new and innovative microservice used on the backend.

🔍 SEER

Have you ever wondered if Test-Driven Development actually improves code quality? There is a lot of evidence documented in research papers but this is unavailable to many commercial software engineers because it is behind a paywall, is written in unfamiliar academic language, and requires high effort to find the trends. With SEER, you to browse a list of empirical research articles via a simple search for "TDD" and "Code Quality", then view summaries of each evidence related to the study, its measures and the results.
