Welcome to my GitHub! I'm a developer who thrives on helping scale-up companies tackle their most challenging technical problems with elegant, effective solutions.
My passion lies in empowering growing companies to overcome their technical challenges and scale efficiently. I've had the privilege of working with an incredible range of organizations - from ambitious startups and impactful charities to dynamic scale-ups like Recharge.com, and industry giants like Lloyds Bank UK and Walt Disney Corporation.

I believe the best technical solutions are born from understanding both the business problem and the human element. Whether it's optimizing performance for millions of users or architecting systems that can handle rapid growth, I love the challenge of building technology that truly serves its purpose.
I love building solutions before the market knows it needs them. Here are some projects I'm particularly proud of:
