About Me

Over the last few years, I’ve progressed from contributing individual features to taking responsibility for larger areas of delivery and ongoing systems. I enjoy taking work from a real requirement through to a shipped feature: understanding what people need, working through the technical problem and writing the code to deliver it.

My work has ranged from customer-facing applications to internal tools such as an automation-driven CRM system. That has included working directly with stakeholders, picking up unfamiliar technologies and moving across different parts of a system.

Technologies I have been using recently:
  • TypeScript
  • Vue 3
  • Node.js
  • AdonisJS
  • PostgreSQL
  • GraphQL
  • Hasura
  • Socket.IO
  • Git
