About Me

Building reliable software with simplicity and user experience at its core.

I'm a full-stack engineer who enjoys a challenge. I like building APIs and services that are easy to use, maintain, observe, and iterate on — while remaining resilient. Outside of work, I enjoy learning through side projects, reading, and sport. I’m passionate about self-improvement, both personally and professionally.

Beyond work

Hobbies

I’m passionate about fitness, whether that’s running, playing golf, or training at the gym. I also enjoy football and Formula 1, and like following each season closely. Beyond fitness, I love learning — whether that’s reading a new book or trying out a new skill. I’m a hands-on learner and enjoy the process of developing new abilities.
