Culture Amp is the leading employee engagement and performance platform. We give leaders insights into their employee culture, allowing them to build on their strengths, and improve areas of opportunity. With a primary focus on culture, organisations can create environments where their employees feel engaged, which is the strongest leading indicator for the performance of the company as a whole.

I began with a short stint on the Collective Intelligence team, drawing insights out of our customers’ survey results in order to help them collect, share and act on employee feedback. Since then, I have led and contributed to projects across the Engagement product as a Team and Delivery Lead.

In my current joint role as a Senior Delivery Lead and Technical Lead, I’ve worked with cross-functional teams of various sizes (generally 6-12 people), collaborating across the product lifecycle from discovery to release, with my team’s wellbeing and growth as a primary concern. As a Mentor, I am also responsible for the performance, coaching, and development of a handful of direct reports.

I was promoted to Senior Engineer in early 2020 and Lead Engineer in early 2022, and continue my involvement with the Site Reliability Engineering practice, handling infrastructure design and deployments for new services, providing SRE guidance to other engineers, and contributing to internal infrastructure tooling and a construct library built with AWS's Cloud Development Kit (CDK).

Some of the projects I have led/contributed to include

• a Reporting API, allowing our users to access and analyse the results of their surveys out of platform
• a rewrite of how we manage, translate and release survey templates across multiple data centres
• a refresh of our comments reporting experience
• the ability to automatically compare results against historical surveys across multiple dimensions
• various infrastructure uplifts

Within HaBIC, I worked on the development of GRHANITE, a tool built for the extraction of primary care data in an ethical and privacy-sensitive manner, for the purpose of research.

I undertook a major rewrite of the client-side codebase, released interfaces for new clinical management systems, and developed custom technical support tools.

I administered the team's Git server, and created the organisation's build servers and processes.

Teenyco aimed to improve ultrasound diagnostics in pregnancies, as well as foster an increased connection between parent and unborn child. Through various visualisation and digital fabrication techniques, we aimed to provide parents with a new way to connect with their babies, using methods such mesh extrapolation from 2D ultrasound images, allowing 3D printed tangible models to be produced.

Access to the anonymised data obtained through this process also allowed us to investigate how machine learning can be used to pick up and point out potential anomalies to radiologists, reducing the high rate of ultrasound anomalies that currently go undetected.

Teenyco won the $10,000 CMB Capital 'Best Startup' award at the Wade Institute's Final Pitch Night, as chosen by a panel including venture capitalists and established entrepreneurs.

Mentored a team of high school students in a hackathon aimed at providing young girls with exposure to engineering careers. Created an IoT pill dispenser designed to improve adherence to drug regimens, placing second in the competition.

In these positions with companies such as RMIT, OSMaD, and UMMTA, I have worked with the cast and crew of over a dozen productions, developing my leadership and interpersonal skills, as well as my ability to navigate complex issues in a team. The diverse interests and individuals involved in artistic teams often create challenging scenarios, which require careful leadership and creative solutions. I have found the skills these experiences have given me complement my technical leadership well.
