About

At the end of 2024, I decided it was time to take my career in a new direction and move into a freelance and consultancy role, working with larger companies on complex software projects.

I'm a software engineer with over 10 years of experience in the Microsoft stack, with a strong interest in modern front-end frameworks like React and Angular. I hold a degree in computer science and have spent my career building scalable, maintainable applications across different domains.

Today, I combine deep technical expertise with a practical, business-focused mindset to help teams build reliable software that actually makes an impact.
