I love exploring ideas — as an investment professional and as a writer.
I also play the piano as a hobby.

Writing & Creative Projects
Gaming Analysis & Commentary:
- Matchsticks for my Eyes, a site about games (especially PC strategy games), stories, and soundtracks established since 2010
Fiction & Poetry:
- Francois He and the River of Spices, novella, 2026. A fantasy homage to historical adventure fiction, set in a world where magic meets technology, and starring a war hero who never wants to pick up a gun again.
- “Seasons on an Alien World”, haiku published in issue 86 of Andromeda Spaceways Magazine, 2022
- “The First Sacrifice”, short story, 2011. An early experiment in self-publishing that taught me a lot about the process.
Other Projects
- Matinee Finder, to make it easier to find Sydney orchestral / classical music performances during the daytime. Currently tracks three orchestras (Sydney Symphony, North Sydney Symphony, and Willoughby Symphony) and two venues (the Opera House and Chatswood Concourse).
- Strategy Game Release Calendar: A way to keep track of upcoming strategy games, wargames, and digital board games on Steam without having to click around multiple publishers and developers. Currently tracks 9+ publishers and 25+ developers.
