Interests & Hobbies

Aside solving complex problems through code, I have a passion for creating video content, photographyand exploring the great outdoors. My athletic pursuits include playing 5-a-side football and 8 ball pool. These interests not only provide a creative outlet but also inspire my work as a developer.

SUMMARY

A Frontend Engineer with a "product-owner" mindset, shaped by over five years of experience across the full development stack. I specialize in architecting high-performance web and mobile ecosystems that bridge the gap between complex backend logic and intuitive, immersive user experiences.

My technical foundation is built on TypeScript and modern frameworks like Next.js and React, but I differentiate myself through creative engineering using tools like Three.js to build interactive 3D environments and Tailwind to build scalable design systems.

My approach is defined by technical versatility: I don’t just write code; I design systems. From wireframing high-fidelity prototypes in Figma to orchestrating containerized deployments and CI/CD pipelines, I ensure every application is secure, performant, and maintainable. I thrive in Agile environments where I can mentor cross-functional teams, leverage AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery, and translate high-level business goals into robust technical reality.
