About

I am a software developer with over 15 years of experience creating accessible, user-centered web solutions across higher education, publishing, and commercial sectors. I specialize in bridging technical and non-technical teams with expertise in front-end development (React, Angular, TypeScript), metadata structures, UX strategy, and digital accessibility.

As a collaborative leader, I focus on improving agile practices, training cross-functional teams, designing inclusive digital experiences, and aligning technology with organizational goals. I enjoy helping clients enhance their digital presence and technical confidence through consultancy and hands-on training.
