Julian Smith, Developer at 3 Degrees North

Julian Smith

Developer
Read bio

Julian has been tinkering with the web since teaching himself HTML in the mid-'90s. Over a decade of building solutions for university students gave him an ever-deepening preference for clean, reactive codebases - he has a low tolerance for clutter and repetition, and would rather spend time crafting an elegant solution than cobbling together workarounds. When not wrestling the balance of teaching and learning from AI, Julian plays upright bass, flute and percussion with folk, jazz and funk acts around Australia, and tends a 5-acre hobby farm where the chillies grow like weeds and get turned into smoked flakes and fermented hot sauce.
