Top SchoolAsh Connell is a seasoned full-stack software engineer and Lead UI/UX specialist with 11+ years building SaaS products and a web hobbyist since 1996. Based in Melbourne, he combines product-minded design with hands-on engineering—shaping market research platform Glow’s web app while owning product management and ops. He’s delivered end-to-end systems across web, mobile and streaming (including leading Australia’s early Cumulus streaming service) and is fluent in modern front-end stacks, React Native, Node.js, GraphQL and containerized DevOps.
