About Me

I've spent seven years on the unglamorous part of the stack: APIs, data models, tests, and getting code out the door without drama.

Senior Software Engineer based in Preston, UK. I specialise in Python, PHP, and Node.js backends, with full-stack delivery in React, Next.js, and React Native. I've led teams across Singapore, the US, and the UK — from microservices and TDD to hiring and code reviews.
