I build things for the web. Have done for 10 years. Design, code, ship — every stage, not just the code. Specialising in TypeScript and building products that hold up.

About

I build. I ship. I figure things out.

I'm a software developer based in London who's spent 10 years building reliable, scalable products across Insurance, Banking, and Retail.

My core language is JavaScript, but I operate e2e, from early design thinking, through frontend and backend engineering, to CI/CD and cloud deployment.

Lately I've been integrating AI into workflows and products in a way that actually makes a difference. I build things faster and smarter, and help teams do the same.
