I’m a Computer Science educator and Managing Senior Software Engineer specialising in building full stack Web Applications.

About · Contact · Selected work · Writing

For the frontend I love building reactive web applications using Sveltekit, or Vue.js & ASP.NET Core (MVC / Razor Pages). As for the backend, I work with ASP.NET Core WebAPIs and Node.js with TypeScript. I am a proponent of Docker containerisation and virtualisation, as well as automated testing within CI/CD workflows. For cloud computing my service of choice is Azure but I like AWS too.

My degree in English (with Creative Writing modules) led me to a deep appreciation for Prompt Engineering.

My roots as a Teach First Ambassador drive me to share knowledge freely and to encourage others to do the same.

The best way to reach me is by DM on LinkedIn.
