Software Engineer · Builder · Founder-in-progress
Based in the UK 🇬🇧

I’m a full-stack developer with 11+ years of experience, specialising in TypeScript, React, and modern cloud-native apps. I enjoy building real products — not demos — and I’m most at home where engineering, product, and automation meet.

Currently working at CGI (previously BJSS), while building multiple side projects across SaaS, AI, event platforms, and mobile apps.
