Profile
Software engineer with 7+ years of commercial experience across gaming, healthcare, fintech, and assistive technology. Most of my experience has been in backend and full-stack development using C#, .NET, Java, and TypeScript — I've worked across a fairly wide range of technologies and environments over the years.
Worked at companies from different industries, where a large part of the role involved mentoring developers, improving engineering processes, handling live production issues, and helping teams ship reliably. I enjoy working on challenging problems, improving tooling and workflows, and helping unblock other developers. For the next chapter I'm looking for something in Manchester or even remote.
