My name is Shaun Simpson, and I like to build things!

I'm a software engineer and developer from Sydney, Australia. I work hard designing and building digital solutions for people to help them solve their problems and make their lives easier. I have been working with various digital technologies to help people for the last decade and I love it. I am focused on improving the aesthetics and user experience of software, and I am always looking for new ways to improve my craft.
