Software professional based in Perth, Western Australia. I spend my days in tech and my spare time building free learning programs for people who want to get genuinely good at something.
I work in software — have done for a while now. I enjoy the technical side, but what I find myself drawn to most is the human layer: how people interact with tools, why some things click and others don't, and how learning actually happens (or fails to).
This site is what happens when those interests collide. Free 4-week programs, one topic at a time. Designed for people who want to learn something real without wading through a $400 course or a 10-hour YouTube playlist.
I've noticed a pattern: most online learning either overwhelms you with information or gives you so little that nothing sticks. The sweet spot — structured, daily, achievable — barely exists.
So I started building what I'd want to use myself. Each program is 4 weeks long because that's genuinely enough time to get competent at something, not just familiar with it. Each day is one concept and one action — small enough to fit into a real life, substantial enough to add up to something meaningful by week 4.
Everything is free because I think the internet works better when people share what they know without turning everything into a funnel.
My background is in software. I'm interested in developer tooling, product thinking, and how teams build things well (or struggle to). I spend a lot of time thinking about communication in technical contexts — documentation, handoffs, the writing that holds software together.
I'm also genuinely interested in AI and where it's taking the industry. Not the hype, but the practical effects: on how we build, what we build, and who gets to build it.
I grew up between cultures — the Nakagawa-Bennett name is a clue — and I think that shaped how I approach learning. When you grow up navigating different ways of seeing the world, you get comfortable with not knowing things. You also get good at figuring them out.
I've taught myself a lot over the years: finance, fitness, cooking, enough guitar to embarrass myself at parties. The pattern that worked every time was the same: clear daily structure, realistic time commitment, and a tangible output at the end. That's what these programs try to replicate.
If you're using one of them, I genuinely hope it helps. And if you want to say hi or tell me what's working or broken, my email is on this domain — I actually read it.
