ABOUT ME

Software engineer with over five years of professional experience, specialising in building scalable and resilient systems using Node.JS and modern JavaScript frameworks like Next.JS. My journey began with a placement during a Computer Science degree, which quickly led to a full-time role and steady progression within the industry.

Deeply passionate about the fast-moving JavaScript ecosystem, CI/CD, and designing systems that are both robust and scalable. Known for tackling complex technical challenges with persistence and delivering effective, long-term solutions.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to lead impactful projects, including the development of a high-traffic loyalty platform for a major publisher and an AI-powered image processing API for automated background removal.

I believe in the power of clean, maintainable code and contribute to team growth through thoughtful, constructive code reviews that provide clear, actionable feedback alongside positive reinforcement. I am quick to adapt to new technologies and excel in fast-paced, innovative environments.

Beyond my professional work, I actively explore DevOps practices, server infrastructure, and Kubernetes by experimenting with my personal home lab. This hands-on experience complements my backend skills and allows me to understand the full application lifecycle.

Looking ahead, I am focused on transitioning into a senior engineering role where I can leverage my technical expertise to build advanced systems and mentor fellow engineers, contributing to their growth and the success of the team.
