Hey I'm Jamie Hilliam

I'm 20 and I'm a software engineering student, creative, and writer based in Sydney, Auckland (for now), and Bangkok.

As a Software Engineer

I chose to study this field to build cool stuff which can change the world. This journey has led me to Australia and working for 6 months as the youngest SWE at CommBank.
In the future I'm super excited to leverage both my creative and technical skills to ideate, build, and lead the development of new software products which do good in the world.

As a creative

I make cool stuff in various mediums which makes people feel something:

Photography
I use photography as a medium to share the beauty of the world around me and to capture my life

Filmmaking
I have recently been exploring filmmaking as an extension of my photography, further adding depth to my work.

YouTube

I have had a YouTube channel for 5 years where I make videos about my interests, including: tech, life, productivity tips,and short films.

Writing

I write about staying human in an increasingly algorithm dominated world.
