About
I'm an experienced web developer that's passionate about building robust and effective solutions for complex problems.
Crafting elegant and intuitive solutions for complex problems has been my focus for the best part of the last decade. With a diverse background in developing mobile applications, games, and websites, I've acquired a versatile skill set that spans a wide range of technologies and programming languages.
Currently, I work as a Senior Web Developer at Flaunt Digital, specialising in complex bespoke systems. I manage an array of different client retainers, ranging from e-commerce to brochure, with a heavy emphasis on ensuring timely delivery and providing an outstanding service.
In my spare time, you'll find me reading, watching dystopian sci-fi films, or playing games on retro consoles. I love all things early noughties, especially the tech, films, and TV. If I had a time machine, you'd catch me chilling in 2004.
