About —

I'm a UI engineer with over 10 years of experience building clean, accessible, and easy-to-use web applications. I specialise in the front-end, turning designs into well-crafted React components and making sure websites run fast and smoothly. Alongside coding, I spend a lot of time writing technical specs, running workshops and helping map out projects before any code is written. I enjoy bringing structure to complex projects and bridging the gap between design and development.
