Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years’ experience building modern, cloud-native web applications in regulated, high-scale environments. I specialise in React and TypeScript, with a strong focus on frontend architecture, performance, and delivering clean, intuitive user experiences. I’ve led areas of the modernisation of highly-critical systems for a client whilst working at IBM, owning frontend architecture from design through to production for platforms used by thousands of users. Previously at BAE Systems, I worked full stack with a heavy focus on AWS, designing cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and cost-optimisation solutions. What sets me apart is my ability to combine strong technical leadership with product and UX thinking. I care about detail, scalability, and building software that users genuinely enjoy using. Comfortable leading projects end-to-end, collaborating with designers and stakeholders, or getting hands-on delivering features. Available for freelance and contract work across React, TypeScript, and cloud-focused projects.
