About me

I'm Michael Esteban. A software engineer from Brisbane, Australia. I create small, purpose-driven websites and interactive tools.

I currently work at the University of Queensland where I am helping to build the Australian Internet Observatory.

Previously, I spent seven years in the Human Computer Interaction lab at the Queensland University of Technology. I was a wearer of many hats and my days were a mix of coding, soldering, 3D printing, teaching and more.

Most of my work involves finding ways to make complex interactions more accessible and engaging through visualisation and user-friendly interfaces. This tends to lend itself to the JavaScript/TypeScript world, although I'm very pragmatic and will use whatever tool is best for the job.

With degrees in Computer Science and Law, I enjoy bridging the technical and human aspects of technology. I love teaching others how to program and regularly lead primary, high school, and university classes. When I'm not online, you can usually find me on a tennis court.

This website is primarily a collation of side projects, blog posts and papers that I have created or collaborated on.
