About me
My CV
Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead with over 13 years of experience across software engineering, technical leadership, DevOps and full-stack delivery.
Professional profile
My engineering focus
When working in .NET-focused roles, I bring over 13 years of software engineering experience to designing and delivering applications with C# and .NET. My experience includes .NET Core, MVC, Entity Framework, LINQ, SQL and Azure, spanning backend development, solution design, testing and production delivery.
I bring a practical approach to building maintainable systems, improving development workflows and supporting teams through technical decisions, DevOps, automated CI/CD and full-stack delivery.
When working in JavaScript-focused roles, I bring over 13 years of software engineering experience to building full-stack applications with NodeJS, TypeScript, React and related frameworks including NestJS, NextJS and VueJS. I have worked across frontend and backend development, application migrations, API design and cloud delivery on Azure.
Alongside hands-on development, I have experience with DevOps, deployment workflows and mentoring developers, helping teams deliver maintainable, scalable products.
With over 13 years of experience across software engineering and technical leadership, I have supported products through the full lifecycle: understanding requirements, shaping solutions, building and testing software, and improving delivery in production.
I combine hands-on development with stakeholder management, team leadership, mentoring, DevOps and CI/CD, accessibility and security-minded engineering. I am particularly comfortable helping mixed-discipline teams turn complex needs into practical, maintainable software.
