About Me

I've been building software since 1996, when I first got my hands dirty with code. I studied Electronics & Computer Engineering, picked up hardware, telecoms, HCI and graphics along the way — and fell hard for the web.

My first professional work started in 2012. Since then I've shipped more than a decade of web and mobile projects as a tech lead and fullstack developer: product-facing when it helps, deep in the stack when it matters.
