Technology is my passion. Building great products and watching them come to life drives me — as a developer, architect, and automation engineer with 25+ years in the industry.
About
I'm Joel — a Developer, Solution Architect and DevOps Engineer based in Sydney with 25+ years across the full stack. Right now I'm deep in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and automation — building systems that are reliable, repeatable, and fast to ship.
I'm a developer first, but I find equal satisfaction in designing architecture and enabling teams to move faster through proper planning and tooling. I believe in standards-based development, creative problem-solving, and building things that last.
Projects & Sites
01 / Horticulture
A comprehensive resource dedicated to orchid growing — care guides, species identification, community knowledge, and everything a grower needs from beginner to expert.
↗02 / Cycling
A cycling blog named after the classic double chainring setup. Rides, gear, routes, training reflections — the on-road counterpart to time spent at the keyboard.
↗03 / This site
Personal home base since 1997. Built and rebuilt many times — currently a static site with a Three.js background, because some experiments never stop.
→Cycling is my reset. The rhythm of kilometres, the discipline of the saddle, the clarity of two hours in the open air — it feeds directly back into how I approach problems at the keyboard. I write about it at 53-39.com — named after the classic double chainring.
