I'm a software engineer who builds scalable web applications and backend services within agile teams. I have experience across the public sector and fast-growing consumer technology environments, including the Ministry of Justice and Gymshark, delivering responsive apps, RESTful APIs, and optimized data performance. I pride myself on clean, maintainable code, collaborative problem-solving, and delivering technical solutions that drive real business outcomes. I'm always learning and applying new technologies (AWS, testing strategies like TDD/BDD) and I enjoy creating thorough documentation to support onboarding and collaboration. I’m looking to join a high-performing engineering team where I can continue delivering robust software and impactful digital products.
