My Story

G'day! I'm Jack.. though you might know me as Spike, or "the guy with the holes." I'm a passionate software developer with an unconventional journey into tech.

My path started in business and management, where I spent years working across hospitality and construction industries. These experiences taught me the value of hard work, problem-solving, and understanding what people really need.

The transition to software development wasn't just a career change, it was finding my calling. I discovered that coding allowed me to combine my business acumen with creative problem-solving, building tools that genuinely improve people's lives.

Today, I'm a full-stack developer who loves pushing projects to see how far they can go. Whether it's a small utility that saves someone time or a larger platform that brings people together, I find joy in the entire process of creation.

Building & Creating

Whether it's software, 3D models, or physical projects, I love the process of taking an idea from concept to reality. Every project teaches me something new.

Meaningful Impact

I'm driven by creating tools and solutions that genuinely make people's lives better. Whether big or small, impact matters more than complexity.

The Personal Side

When I'm not coding, you'll find me spending quality time with family, working on 3D modeling projects, or diving into new technologies just to see what's possible.

I have a background in body modification and self-expression โ€” hence "the guy with the holes." I believe in authentic self-expression and encourage others to embrace what makes them unique.

I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally. If you're working on something interesting or just want to chat about tech, mental health, or life in general โ€” I'd love to hear from you!
