Hi, I'm Maddy (me4502)
I'm a Software Engineer/Computer Scientist from Queensland, Australia.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Clipchamp at Microsoft, and develop the Minecraft mods WorldEdit, WorldGuard, and CraftBook in my spare time. I also enjoy contributing to numerous Open Source Software projects, and enjoy deep diving into various technologies and optimising performance. If you're looking for a more in-depth view of my contributions to the Minecraft community, it's available here!
This website is home to a portfolio of things I have done, as well as a showcase of a few experiments I've done over the years. I also enjoy technical writing, and quite frequently publish blog posts. Check a few out here!
