I’m a full-stack developer based in Auckland with about five years of experience building and shipping production web applications for real users. I’m strongest in React, TypeScript, and Next.js on the front end, and Node.js, Express, and Supabase/PostgreSQL on the back end—working comfortably end-to-end from design decisions through deployment in small, fast-moving teams. I care deeply about what makes software feel good to use: responsive layouts, clean component architecture, performance, and accessibility. I also enjoy learning and applying modern AI tooling (including frameworks and model APIs) to practical products, and I’ve supported clients across industries like health, real estate, tourism, and e-commerce while maintaining high quality across reliability, SEO, and analytics.
