Lawrence, Otago
Software Engineer at Runn

I'm a full-stack software engineer at Runn, working across the product from frontend to backend. Before that I spent four-plus years in agency land shipping custom sites and web apps every week — now I get to go deep on one product instead of wide across many.

About

From agency builds to product engineering.

I started in IT and mobile technology before moving into web development over five years ago. What drew me in was the ability to create things people could see, use, and interact with — and the satisfaction of solving real business problems through well-crafted code. That drive hasn't changed — it's only gotten stronger.

I spent over four years at Meta Digital, a New Zealand digital agency, building everything from custom WordPress sites to modern Next.js applications. In 2026 I joined Runn as a software engineer, where I work across the full stack building resource-planning software used by teams around the world.
