About Me

I am originally from Geelong, Victoria, Australia. I then moved to Redmond, WA, USA for an internship at Microsoft, went back to Australia to finish studying and now I'm back in Redmond.

I am also the creator of the Geohash Notification Service, a service to email you when a geohash falls within a radius of a given location. It is open source and the source code can be found on github.
