01 / About

Engineering with craft, shipped with care.

Software Engineering Lead with 7+ years turning ideas into clean, high-performance web products. I work end to end across TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js and GraphQL - building AI-assisted tooling, scalable APIs and interfaces people actually enjoy using.

Today I lead engineering at Wesence - building AI-driven tooling and self-building systems while mentoring teams toward clean, maintainable code. Along the way I've shipped e-commerce, EdTech and SaaS products used by hundreds of thousands of people.
