Outside the office, you’d likely find me listening or making music, outside playing soccer or building another app – just for fun!

Luka

I’m an experienced software engineer with a focus on backend development and design. I particularly enjoy designing systems to meet customer needs as efficiently as possible.I’ve had six years of industry experience, which included five years in leadership roles.

I’m particularly experienced with Java and am familiar with PHP, Javascript, C++ and C#. I also have extensive experience managing resources, deadlines and schedules.

Outside of work I enjoy reading and writing fiction.

Michael

Developer

I get a kick out of building things that other people can find useful. That’s why I enjoy working as a software developer at ZGuy.

I started my software developer career working on frontend applications, using Javascript and various Javascript frameworks. It wasn’t long, however, before I had to start working on backend application and devops, and I’m now also comfortable working with Node and Java on backend apps, and with Docker and AWS to get apps deployed.

If I’m not in front of a computer, you’ll most likely find me playing indie tabletop roleplaying games somewhere.

Dylan

Developer

As a software developer at ZGuy, I love the fact that I have the tools and knowledge to build almost anything, limited only by my imagination.

I’ve been lucky to work on several exciting projects, developing software for both mobile and the web. In doing so, I’ve used a wide range of technologies, including Dart, Flutter, Serverpod, TypeScript, React Native, and NestJS.

I am passionate about self-improvement and I am privileged to work with incredibly talented developers whose expertise and mentorship inspire me to grow and learn every day.

I also have a keen interest in automation and machine learning, and outside of the office, you’ll likely find me exploring these subjects more deeply.

Kirk

Developer

I’m a seasoned Software Engineer with an extensive track record in various industries.

My professional passion is centered around creating and deploying comprehensive Software as a Service (SaaS) web applications, leading projects from the idea stage all the way to successful monetisation. With expertise in conversion optimisation. I am a specialist in transforming user analytics into strategic initiatives that markedly boost user interaction and revenue for SaaS web applications.

Beyond professional pursuits, I am an avid outdoors enthusiast. Away from the screens and code, my escape is navigating through forests on a mountain bike, discovering new trails, or indulging in hiking and rucking adventures.

I have a passion for problem-solving and making things work more efficiently, which is why I enjoy the challenge of programming.

I am currently studying for a degree in Computer Science at Charles Sturt University, and have worked on projects in a variety of programming languages, My favourites include C, Rust, Lua, and Python. My focus at ZGuy at the moment is in Dart and Flutter, creating frontend user interfaces.
