Hi, I'm Roxanne —
I build software people actually love.

Full-stack software engineer and technical consultant based in Sydney. From mobile apps to games to audio tools, I turn messy requirements into software that actually works — and one of my apps has 850+ people using it on their home screen.

Who's this

Full-stack, mobile-first, detail-obsessed.

I'm a Software Engineer based in Sydney, Australia, holding a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of London. I'm the creator of Nestmate, a collaborative living app for housemate management, with hands-on experience spanning frontend, backend, testing, and deployment.


My cross-cultural upbringing across Germany, South Africa, Australia, England, and Malaysia has shaped how I work — it's nurtured an open-mindedness, adaptability, and appreciation for diversity that I bring into every project. Plan A doesn't always pan out, and I've learned not to panic when it doesn't — I just move on to plan B, or plan C if that's what the day calls for.


Driven by a growth mindset, I have a passion for innovation and developing creative technological solutions. Outside of coding, I enjoy exploring the world and staying active in sports.

🤝 Business & stakeholder fluency

Alongside engineering, I've presented cloud infrastructure and SaaS solutions straight to C-suite executives and enterprise partners at Equinix, and kept delivery timelines on track between stakeholders and engineering teams at MBMPL and BellMorin. I'm just as comfortable in a stakeholder meeting as I am heads-down in a codebase — I can turn what a business needs into something engineers can actually build, and explain technical trade-offs back in plain terms.

🌍 A third-culture perspective

Growing up across Germany, South Africa, Australia, England, and Malaysia means I rarely see a problem as having just one right answer. Plan A doesn't always hold up — when it doesn't, I switch to plan B, or plan C, without missing a beat. That same adaptability shapes how I work with clients, teams, and whatever technical curveballs come up.
