ABOUT ME

I'm a software developer currently completing a vocational qualification in software development alongside full-time work. I enjoy building practical software across the stack, with a particular interest in backend development, software architecture, and solving real-world problems through clean, maintainable code.

Get to know me!

My path into software development began after more than 15 years working in warehouse logistics and operational processes. Working alongside business software every day gave me first-hand insight into how technology supports real-world operations and sparked my interest in learning how those systems are built.

Today I enjoy learning by building practical projects across different areas of software development, with a particular interest in backend development. Whether it's building full-stack web applications, designing APIs and backend systems, creating gameplay systems, or exploring algorithms and software architecture, I enjoy breaking complex problems into smaller pieces and building solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and easy to understand.

I'm always looking for opportunities to learn something new and expand my skills. My goal is to combine my practical industry experience with strong software engineering principles while continuing to grow as a developer and build software that people genuinely enjoy using.
