About

👋 Hey there — I'm Joe, a software engineer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. You can learn more about me on my personal website or on LinkedIn.

This API began as a hobby project, born from a few key motivations:

  • 🌱 Learning and growth — I wanted to deepen my experience with .NET, API design, data modelling, and infrastructure. Building something end-to-end that others could use felt like the best way to do that
  • 💙 Public good — Water restrictions in New Zealand (and elsewhere) can be hard to track, inconsistently published, and not very developer-friendly. This project is an attempt to help with that
  • 🔬 Experimentation — For me, this is a personal space to experiment with new ideas and stay up to date with new features and tooling in the world of tech

This is an ongoing project, and I continue to evolve it as I have time, learn new things, or receive feedback.
