Hi, I'm Larry.

Larry smiling. Larry is a white man in his
late twenties, with short brown hair, a slightly patchy beard and round glasses.

I’m an Australian full stack engineer based in Paris, France.

I worked at the Information Access Group between 2017 and 2024, before moving to Paris.

Here are a few things that I love about my work:

creating tools that make other people’s work easier - I’m passionate about using technology to streamline processes and reduce repetitive work so team members can focus on what they do best.
sharing knowledge - when working in a team, it is so important to share what you know and encourage others to do the same. I find it really rewarding to share little tips and help others grow their skills.

During my free time, I like to experiment with new technologies and new ways of doing things. You can see a list of my side projects and demos on my GitHub profile. Most recently in 2024, I’ve been playing around with the Astro web framework, the Weaviate vector database, and ideas for active music discovery.

Outside of programming, I’m a big music fan. You can see the music I listen to on my Last.fm profile or have a look at my Bandcamp collection. I also enjoy history, language learning and coffee.

I try not to spend too much time on social media, but every now and then I post on Mastodon. I spend more time in the Shop Talk Show and Lunch.dev Discords.
