About me
I'm a senior software engineer who's spent the last decade shipping large-scale web applications and microservices in the JavaScript ecosystem, with a strong lean toward functional programming and clean code. Right now I'm on a greenfield project at Travelex, migrating legacy systems in a fast-paced corporate environment.
Before Travelex, I worked across ecommerce, global news, marketing, and fashion, leading web projects for national and global clients in tech, retail, and hospitality. My work has helped grow revenue, increase traffic, and streamline content delivery — usually as part of a team built to ship fast without cutting corners.
Technology doesn't stand still, so I don't either — lately I've been deep in structured CMS data modelling and AI agentic development. Outside of work I'm usually gaming, DJing, watching football, walking the dog, or being a dad to my six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter.
