Hi, I'm Maddy (me4502)

I'm a Software Engineer/Computer Scientist from Queensland, Australia.

I work at Clipchamp, and also develop WorldEdit, WorldGuard, and CraftBook. I also enjoy contributing to numerous Open Source Software projects, such as GatsbyJS which powers this website. For a full list 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!
