Profile

Senior software engineer with 11+ years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining web applications in fast-growing product environments. Comfortable across the stack, from APIs, data modelling, and distributed systems through to the React and Angular interfaces built on top of them, and used to picking up whichever language or framework a problem actually calls for.

Proven ability to lead features end-to-end, from system design through production rollout, while improving reliability, performance, and engineering quality. Passionate about clean architecture, pragmatic system design, and delivering measurable business impact.

Looking ahead, working towards a Staff Engineer role and the wider technical leadership that comes with it. Also keen to move closer to the commercial side of product, bringing an entrepreneurial mindset to engineering and a strong interest in growth.
