Receipt Bank

Product Manager

Receipt Bank (now Dext) is a fast paced, high growth company using artificial intelligence to disrupt the accounting space. Joined after series B funding and worked through to a successful Series C investment run. Using agile methodologies I collaborated with a multi-disciplinary team through inception, research, testing, and iteration to introduce the company's first automated submission method.

Projects

Game Master Tabletop RPG Note Taking

In order to learn the accessible component library from adobe, I created this project to combine various principles such as optimistic updates, serverless environments and monorepos.

playQ Videogame Playlist Manager

I built a playlist management solution that supports server side rendering (SSR), user authentication, aggregated scores and ratings, and a user activity feed. The app uses React and Remix as the full stack framework, with some additional asyncronous tasks offloaded to a cloudflare application.

My Developer Portfolio

I built an entirely custom portfolio website using React and Remix. I wrote a custom build process which parses markdown content and caches the output into simple JSON for the app to consume on request with response times of less than 7ms.

This Little Piggy Richmond

I built a client-facing website that utilises Notion as a backend to facilitate dynamic content updates without the need for a complex CMS solution. Data on the inventory can be changed by the client and seen instantly without a build step. Built with Next.js and deployed to Vercel.
