I'm a freelance technology journalist in Australia. I like to write about emerging technologies, user experience, start-ups and business practice. I've written for ZDNet Australia, iTnews, CRN and others.
I am halfway through a Combined Law degree at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
Hackerspaces are venues for geeks, nerds and eggheads to share resources, work on projects and collaborate. Robots & Dinosaurs manages a space with a 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC milling machine, electronics, programming, mechatronics and procrastination from the real world. I'm on the hackerspace's Board of Directors. »
Universities and student organisations often slip under the radar of big news organisations. The only people watching are student journalists. I'm passionate about using student media to provide oversight in these areas.
I was the co-editor-in-chief of UNSW's student newspaper Tharunka in 2004, editor and director of national student newspaper The Student Leader in 2005, founder and editor of international studies student website INSTant in 2005, and founder and editor of computer science student magazine Beta in 2006/7.
I spend a lot of time working with amateur/student theatre, circus and performance groups. I've done scriptwriting and editing, marketing and promotions, emceeing, production, acting, front of house and wellbeing. I helped to found the first Arts Revue at UNSW, produced Old Fashioned Standards III in 2006, and wrote a circus show, The Elixir Carnivale, in 2008.
"Dr Sanjay Rajvit had a cabinet full of blood in his downtown apartment." Thus starts Blood, a short story I wrote about a weirdly obsessed emergency-room doctor. I write creative non-fiction, short fiction, science fiction, fantasy, scripts and plays, and poetry. Some of my work has been published in anthologies and websites, and I won the Jeannie Monckton Creative Writing Prize for short fiction.
