I'm based in [Perth, Western Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth), and work as a Senior Software Engineer for [Swell Network](https://www.swellnetwork.io/), a company that develops cryptocurrency products on the [Ethereum network](https://ethereum.org/en/). My work mostly involves interacting with the execution and beacon layers, and automating the administration of LST and LRT tokens. ## Current Focus I'm developing a video game as the spiritual successor to [*Supremacy*](https://supremacy.game/), using the [Godot engine](https://godotengine.org/). It’s my passion project, called *Nexus Rift*. I've been working on the simulation aspect lately, using the great [ark](https://github.com/mlange-42/ark) ECS library. That's nearing completion, so I'm starting to increase my focus on the presentation layer via Godot. ## Learning I've stopped with no-gi BJJ and joined a [Combat Sambo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambo_(martial_art)) school. I love that the ruleset allows me to have a 'full spectrum' usage of my skills, starting from punching/kicking/elbows, to grip-fighting/clinch/throws, to fighting in the transitions, to ground work. ## Reading & Watching I've been listening to the Red Rising Graphic Audio [production](https://www.graphicaudiointernational.net/our-productions/series/k-r/red-rising-saga.html). I haven't gotten deep into it yet, but apparently the sequels are amazing. ## Family My son Kai is now 2 years old! He's getting faster, smarter and stronger by the day. I still got a head start though :)
