Short Bio

With over 12 years of experience in software development, I've worked across the full spectrum of development, from day one startups to some of the world's largest corporations. My expertise spans native mobile development (Kotlin,Swift, Compose Multiplatform, Flutter), web applications (Nuxt), and backend services (Spring Boot, Ktor). I've led development teams at NCS Group, lead development teams for the FordPass mobile app at Ford, and modernized e-commerce platforms for Boohoo Group. Whether building apps for public transport networks, emergency services, or connected vehicles, I'm driven by creating impactful technology that improves people's daily lives.
