About Me

I'm a Junior Full-Stack Developer specialising in JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Node.js, PHP and MongoDB.

I'm currently pursuing a BSc in Computer Science at Goldsmiths, University of London.

My route into software development has been unconventional but deliberate. After almost a decade working in technical and commercial roles, I transitioned into software engineering with a focus on building practical, production-ready applications.

Beyond technical skills, I bring experience understanding business requirements, communicating with non-technical stakeholders, and owning workflows from beginning to end.

I'm currently looking for a junior to mid-level frontend or full-stack development role in London, where I can contribute to a strong engineering team and continue developing as a software engineer.
