Joachim

Joachim's main claim to fame is that he shared a Maths class with Jessica Mauboy growing up in Darwin. When he's not riding J-Mau's coat tails, Joachim works with campaign organisations and environmental groups to bring their digital strategy to life in the form of gorgeous action-focused websites. He spends his days leading the team, applying his programming skills and creating powerful sites for progressive causes. When the heady intrigue of campaign website creation is too overwhelming, Jo relaxes by tinkering with his recipe for the perfect home brew.

Viviana

A scientist by nature and an artist at heart, Viviana finds her role as Lead Liquid Programmer at Code Nation to be the perfect place to put her graphic designer's eye and scientist’s brain to work. Viv is passionate about protecting life on this beautiful planet - so she's excited to be able to design and build digital campaigns for some of the world’s best environmental campaigns. When she's not riding through Buenos Aires to her post-graduate course in Science Communication Viv is planning her next sustainable-living life hack.

Corey

Before teaching himself how to code, Corey was a Teach for Australia associate brightening young lives with the wonders of the Spanish language. Trained as an economist, Corey now creates websites and campaign apps to amplify the voices of progressive causes. Corey loves helping passionate campaigners master the NationBuilder community-organising platform, something he’s been doing since 2013. If you want to be his best friend forever tell him you think the Mighty Adelaide Crows are a chance this year.

Sly

In between cooking up a storm for his family and breeding Siberian Huskies, Sly is Code Nation’s lead Ruby on Rails developer. He plans to use his skills building web applications that extend the toolkit of progressive campaigners’ to save enough to open his own restaurant. The father of one gorgeous girl Sly spends his spare time tinkering with cars and exploring all the wonders that the Philippines and surrounding South East Asia have to offer.

Xena

When Xena isn't fetching new leads, she busies herself chasing up accounts retrievable. Xena's super-warm nature towards her colleagues means she is literally everyone's best friend.

Rhys

Rhys grew up on the beautiful NSW South Coast. Since then, he has spent a number of years living and working in South America, North and Southeast Asia, including as an Australian diplomat. Over that time, a couple of dreams emerged: (1) working with friends on progressive social issues and (2) returning to the coast. Since joining Code Nation, at least one of those dreams has come true.

A born list-maker, Rhys likes to work with clients and the rest of the Code Nation team to make sure our projects are delivered on time and on point. He splits the rest of his day between entertaining an energetic toddler, reading novels (four pages at a time) and thinking up ways to make Code Nation an even better agency for its staff and campaign partners.

Paddy

Paddy has taken a circuitous route to Code Nation, having grown Uber’s operations in Queensland, and set up cash transfer projects across Africa and Puerto Rico for the international NGO GiveDirectly. Now finding himself back in Australia, Paddy spends rainy days developing relationships with our client organisations, and building stylish and impactful campaign tools for the progressive community. On sunny days you’ll find him working on his dodgy forehand, or planning a weekend escape to anywhere coastal.
