About

Full Stack Software Engineer with almost 5 years of experience building scalable web applications in New Zealand, including real production systems with Stripe payments, role-based login, and admin dashboards.

I’m comfortable taking projects from idea to deployment and I use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor) daily. I also build and test integrations carefully, and have created a personal project using the OpenAI API.
