About

I’m a passionate full-stack engineer with 4+ years of experience building web applications and marketplace platforms. I enjoy turning complex requirements into robust, maintainable code using modern technologies such as Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Next.js. I thrive in small, collaborative teams and am driven by shipping practical features that deliver real business value.

Most recently at RoofBuddy in New Zealand, I contributed to features and systems as part of a high-performing technical team recognized with multiple 2025 Auckland Business Awards. I value thoughtful trade-offs, automation, and clear documentation to support scalable product growth.
