About
Engineering meets design.
I'm a senior full-stack developer with 10+ years building fast, reliable websites for world-class brands, including Disney, BBC, Barclays, Ubisoft, and IMG, alongside independent projects for founders and local businesses.
I work across the full lifecycle, from architecture to launch and ongoing optimisation, specialising in React, Next.js, and Astro, as well as WordPress and headless CMS builds with custom APIs.
I take Figma designs and turn them into sites that hold up under real-world traffic - built to convert, not just to look good.
