Hey! My name is Caleb Kautai.

I have a degree in Information Technology, with a focus in Application Development, from Deakin University.

I currently work at Suncorp Bank, a subsidiary of ANZ, as a ForgeRock developer. I'm working on an identity platform replacement project, migrating services to on-prem ForgeRock.

If you feel like giving me some money… let's get in touch!

“You're an absolute rockstar. Thank you! I genuinely hope I get a call from Suncorp so I can just keep them on the line for like a 15 minute rant about how great you are and a savant of the technical arts.”
