I’m a full-stack developer focused on shipping reliable MERN applications end to end, from initial concept through deployment and ongoing improvements. After a decade managing a £1.8M+ client portfolio, I transitioned into engineering where I now build production systems with React/Next.js, Node.js/Express, and MongoDB—along with solid security, testing, and performance practices. Alongside freelance client delivery in London, I’ve been expanding my computer science foundation through a part-time BSc at Goldsmiths, University of London. I enjoy designing REST APIs with JWT role-based access control, creating mobile-first PWAs with offline support and push notifications, and turning real user data into dashboards, reports, and polished web experiences.…I’m a full-stack developer focused on shipping reliable MERN applications end to end, from initial concept through deployment and ongoing improvements.
