Hubbard
I grew up in Perth and went through Hale School on a Foundation Academic Scholarship. I graduated in 2025 with a 98.05 ATAR and started a Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) at UWA — a selective program that requires maintaining a 75 WAM and runs as a parallel degree alongside another field of study.
I'm currently studying finance and computer science alongside the BPhil. Outside of uni, I run a small tutoring business helping Year 4–6 students prepare for GATE, ASET, and AAS entry exams. I started it because I think the prep space is dominated by impersonal tutoring centres, and I wanted to offer something more direct and effective.
I'm also working on a philosophy project — a public record of my positions on the questions that actually matter: God, consciousness, free will, ethics. The point isn't to perform certainty I don't have. It's to think carefully in public and update as I learn more.
Values
Intellectual honesty
I try to follow arguments wherever they lead, even when the conclusion is uncomfortable. Especially then.
Doing the work
Good outcomes require more than ideas. I care about execution as much as strategy — maybe more.
First principles
I'm sceptical of received wisdom. I want to understand why things are true before I accept that they are.
Long-term thinking
Most of the things worth building take years. I try to make decisions that 30-year-old me would endorse.
