November 2021 - Present Developer Advocate
From no-code, to low code, to fully custom code, Shopify meets merchants at every step of their journey.

As a Developer Advocate, I interact with external developers to make sure their Shopify projects are performant, easy and fun - with a key focus on Shopify's headless React-based framework, Hydrogen.
August 2019 - November 2021 Developer Solutions
Working with Shopify's largest merchants and their developers to ensure their implementations follow best practice.
November 2018 - August 2019 Frontend Developer
Working with enterprise merchants to troubleshoot Online Store themes and build custom features.
June 2017 - November 2018 Lead Trainer
Australia's only accredited coding bootcamp, Coder Academy produces Junior Developers in 6 months.

Students learn algorithms, programming fundamentals and Ruby before moving into HTML, CSS and Rails. The second half of the course teaches vanilla JavaScript, Node & React.

There's a strong focus on developer workflow, pair programming and soft skills to ensure students are job-ready.

We teach students how to learn and aim to make ourselves redundant by the end of the course.
