The story so far

I started with a maths degree at Nottingham, not the most obvious route into software, but it turns out that thinking analytically and breaking problems into pieces is exactly what coding rewards.

A bootcamp during the pandemic got me into web development properly, and four years at Wine-Searcher taught me how real products are built; messy legacy codebases, cross-functional teams, deployment pipelines and all. I shipped everything from Shopify integrations to internal tooling.

Now I'm doing an MSc in Computer Science at UEL, and building side projects to push into React, TypeScript and Next.js; the areas I haven't had the chance to use professionally yet, but intend to.
