I stopped apologising for changing my mind.
For a long time, I was told that having too many interests meant I lacked focus.
Breadth is a feature, not a flaw.
Now I know it's the thing that lets me see possibilities other people miss — and actually build them.
What Drives Me
Autonomy
I'm motivated by autonomy — mine and other people's. If the systems we build create dependency instead of capability, we have failed.
Calm over Chaos
Urgency is often a design flaw. I prioritize curiosity over certainty, and thoughtful responses over reactive noise.
Fairness
We need systems that reward the most thoughtful voice, not just the loudest one. Ethical, culturally grounded tech isn't a compromise — it's an opportunity most people haven't learned to see yet.
If it erodes autonomy,
it's not innovation.
I care deeply about how technology is designed and who it serves. I build for the margins, because that's where the real innovation happens.
The Long Game
I'm currently completing a Master's in Technological Futures while building tools that make access easier for everyday people.
Long term, I want the freedom to work from anywhere — to live overseas with my family for longer stretches, connect properly with our heritage, and keep solving problems that matter.
Not visiting. Immersing.
● What I want to be known for
- 01 Building ethical technology that expands autonomy
- 02 Turning complexity into clarity
- 03 Making things accessible that felt out of reach
- 04 Paving the way for other Pasifika women
- 05 Building things that actually get used
● What I'm not interested in
- ✕ Tokenistic work
- ✕ Pretty artefacts that never get used
- ✕ Work that doesn't align with my values
- ✕ Burnout disguised as ambition
"Burnout is not a business model."
Still Here?
That probably means we think the same way.
