What I do
Kia ora, I'm Taiao (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine), based in Wellington. I started out behind a camera, got into software, and these days I'm leading project delivery. I’m all about the warm fuzzies and want to use my skills to make the world a better place - for Māori, disadvantaged communities, and humans everywhere. Right now that looks like building tech literacy and delivering kaupapa centred tools with Āhau.
Right now I'm contracting as the delivery lead for Āhau, a kaupapa Māori whakapapa app. I'm the main developer on new features and maintenance, and I also look after milestones and mentor our junior dev.
Three years as a software developer and a nerd about it for much longer. I've shipped Rails features in the energy sector, kept payments running on a mainframe, and I build my own tools on Linux for fun.
