Alright, spill the beans! What's your gig at Orchard all about? And what was it that made you go, "Yep, this team's got the mojo"?
I am a senior backend software developer on the .Net team at Orchard. When I visited the Orchard office for the first time for my job interview, I saw the dev team area and the collaboration. It was exactly how I imagined it would be when I first got into software development. So, joining that team was a very easy decision for me. 

What's the coolest tech trend you're currently geeking out over? 
Everything AI – looking at how AI agents can be built and used; how do we run them locally (reducing reliance on wider applications like ChatGPT etc). 

What do you do to recharge or find inspiration?
Chasing metal concerts, video games, bushwalking, and tinkering with hardware does the trick! 

What does 'Connected Experiences' mean to you? 
“Engaged” - Being very engaged in what the experience/product/client/project is.
