Blake Downward

Simple. Clean. Systems

Welcome! I’m Blake - a developer from Adelaide who designs tools and systems that run themselves. Most of my projects live at the edge of data, automation, and design - building things that help small teams work smarter, faster, and with less noise. I like simple builds, clean code, and tools that quietly get the job done. Feel free to check out my work below or get in touch with me via GitHub or LinkedIn.
