TeleBlast
TeleBlast is a local-multiplayer game where you and up to 3 friends compete to be the last one standing using explosive teleportation. What started out as something I built in 48 hours for Global Game Jam; it became an idea worth exploring further and eventually led to me showcasing the game at PAX Australia in 2018.

About Me
I'm a software engineer passionate about building highly scalable and available serverless applications. I particularly enjoy being able to see ideas all the way from conceptualisation through to delivery and have been known to work on multiple projects in my own time to experience the full development process.
I am enthusiastic about creating simple, enjoyable and easy to use products and strive to find the right balance between aesthetic and function and enjoy pushing the boundaries of my knowledge to build them.
In my spare time I enjoy playing board games with friends, sim racing, reading and playing with my two dogs.
