About Me

Building reliable systems with simplicity and user experience at their core.

I’m a full-stack engineer with a strong backend focus, who enjoys working on systems that solve real problems. I like building APIs and services that are easy to use, maintain, observe, and iterate on, while remaining resilient in production. Outside of work, I enjoy learning through side projects, reading, and sport, and I place a strong emphasis on continuous self-improvement, both personally and professionally.

Beyond work

Hobbies

I’m passionate about fitness, whether that’s running, playing golf, or training at the gym. I also enjoy football and Formula 1, and follow each season closely. Beyond fitness, I enjoy learning through reading and exploring new skills, and I’m a hands-on learner who values the process of continual improvement.
