I joined Aginic back in 2019, ah, the simpler times. I look after the IT systems for internal staff and am the first point of contact for external clients requiring support. Prior to Aginic I have worked in a broad-range of industries, from Video Games to an ISP to Gaming to Mining. When not solving the world’s problems, I can be found playing video and board games, pinball or at my weekly Parkrun ritual.

I love numbers and I love money, so I added the two together and became an accountant. I get the biggest appreciation out of looking after emerging entities and helping them grow. Combine the amazing team at Aginic and Aginic Ventures, and I find that work is not at all taxing! Outside of work, I divide my time between drinking coffee and hanging out with my kids.
