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, such as GatsbyJS which powers this website. I've got many years of software engineering experience, 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, click 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!
