I am a front-end and full-stack developer with a passion for creating scalable web applications. I started as a self-taught coder and later trained formally, building a strong foundation in modern coding standards, agile methodologies, the software development lifecycle, and architectural design patterns. In my current role, I contribute to the gov.uk planning portal, building, scaling, maintaining features end-to-end, diagnosing logic issues, refactoring legacy code for performance and maintainability, and collaborating with senior developers, project managers, and testers in a multi-disciplinary agile team. I also help shape project delivery by refining tickets, planning roadmaps, and ensuring technical solutions meet user and business needs. I manage databases (MS SQL) and oversee releases to production while mentoring teammates and conducting peer reviews.
