Software engineer and co-founder of legal tech start-up Josef, with over 13 years of experience across non-profit, government, start-ups and agency work. I recently exited Josef after 7 successful years of proudly building and developing legal SaaS tech. My professional career has been driven actively by my values-centric approach to engineering and design. I'm passionate about problem-solving, accessibility and inclusivity, optimisation and exploring how those intersect harmoniously.

Exploring the bright possibilities of new tech and AI. Today's innovation lab invites participants to explore, play, and innovate with the latest technologies. Together, we'll tackle complex challenges and develop impactful solutions that resonate on a societal level.

As co-founder ofJosef, I have spent the last ~7 years building and developing legal tech SaaS products that legal professionals across the globe use.

Key achievements:

• Successfully grown an engineering & product team to 20 people
• Designed and built 2 x SaaS products from the ground up, leveraging modern tech stacks and cloud-based architecture
• Co-lead 3 rounds of investments
• Scaled web services for enterprise clients in the US, EU & APAC
• Integrated the latest ML models and tools for proprietary use cases, utilising data indexing, search and Generative AI for policies and legal documents
• Facilitated penetration testing and SOC II certification

I spearheaded the development ofstorePlayDisplay - a custom digital signage service on embedded devices deployed in retail stores across Australia.

My role encompassed the entire development cycle, from initial architecture and prototyping to deployment and on-site installation. Understanding and respecting the client brief the project's key successes included:

• Designing a low-cost solution architecture, landing just under $50/unit
• Developing a hardware device running a custom-built client application
• Building a cloud-based CMS for seamless admin and management

I crafted digital solutions for diverse sectors, including government agencies, local enterprises, and non-profit organisations. Notable projects include theBusiness Victoria portal,KeepCup e-commerce platform and theMissing person guide.

When I'm not developing tech, you'll find me in nature or art.

I love to challenge myself and am never afraid of new heights, personally and professionally.
