About Me

A seasoned Senior Full-Stack (60/40 FE) Engineer with a robust software development and team leadership background, seeking to leverage highly specialised experience in React, Next.js, and full-stack technologies to build out sticky prducts that enable KPI growth.

I pivoted into full-time development after seven years of marketing & growth, having successfully built and sold three bootstrapped startups from scratch, while helping raise millions for pre-seed and series A funding for early-stage startups.

Having managed and delivered projects reaching millions of daily users, from Groupon and Motley Fool (Fool.com), to seed round startups like Rightcharge.co.uk, I’m looking to build more challenging products in an ambitious environment to make an impact using my extensive experience.

Nowadays, I’m coding daily to help others do better work faster, and I share my knowledge and experience as a mentor for others.
