Educator, and a builder at heart.
I'm Daniel Southam — a primary school teacher who spends the quieter hours designing software. Two disciplines, one habit: making things that are clear, useful, and worth people's trust.
A little more about me
By day I teach in a small rural school, where the work is as much about building confidence and curiosity as it is about literacy and numeracy. I care deeply about creating classrooms where every child feels known and capable.
Outside the classroom, I build. I design and publish Android apps, tinker with home automation, and run an online games community. These projects keep me learning — about design, about people, and about seeing an idea through from first sketch to something real that others use.
I'm working toward primary school leadership, and I see the same thread running through everything I do: set a clear direction, sweat the details, and look after the people you're responsible for.
