I am a UK based Full-Stack Software Developer with 7+ years of industry experience. My love for building things started with Lego as a kid, but now I enjoy building software!

This wonderful journey started with Java but I have since worked with a wide variety of technologies:
Spring | Hibernate | JDBC | MySQL | JavaScript | jQuery | CSS3 | HTML5 | React | React Native

I've coded using the following editors:
Eclipse | Spring Tool Suite | Android Studio | XCode | Visual Studio Code | IntelliJ IDEA

My career highlights include:

  • designing database tables and RESTful APIs
  • writing and deploying app for Android (using Java) and iOS devices (using Swift)

The crowning glory of my career so far was leading the front-end development of a large-scale project over several years.

I'm really passionate about upskilling and connecting with others in the Tech community.

About Me

  • My first experience of programming was with the visual programming language Max MSP, which I was introduced to during my BSc in Music Technology.
  • I landed my first tech job through fellow volunteers, whilst helping out a local charity shop.
  • Giving back feels good. I've done a few 13 mile bike rides and 10K runs for various charities, and also I volunteered at the 2023 and 2024 Manchester Tech Festival events. In October 2024 I joined the development team at Straightforward Job Site as a volunteer.

To celebrate my 7+ yrs in Software Development, here's 7 things I love:

  1. Music. My taste is pretty varied, but my absolute favouite genres are Bhangra and UK Garage.
  2. Coffee.
  3. Chocolate.
  4. Pasta. Mac n Cheese is the ULTIMATE comfort food!!
  5. Puzzles. I've been doing Sudoku puzzles since my teen years, and I've recently completed my second 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle and first 3D jigsaw puzzle!
  6. Sunflowers. During the Pandemic, lots of bright and tall ones dominated the garden.
  7. Colour. The world would be a dull place without it!
