About

About me

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer based in London with over 12 years of experience building web and mobile applications for some of the world's most recognisable brands.

I've worked across agencies and consultancies — including TMW, AND Digital and Motive Partners, serving clients like Lego, Wells Fargo, Benefit Cosmetics, and more — and in-house product teams, with clients including Marks & Spencer. Whether it's a consumer-facing retail platform at M&S scale or a greenfield fintech product, I focus on delivering experiences that are fast, accessible, and built to last.

I've led frontend development on complex projects — owning entire client-side codebases, defining component architecture, establishing testing practices, and collaborating closely with design and backend teams. I'm equally comfortable contributing as an individual and growing engineers around me.

What I care about

Code quality

I care about code that is readable, testable, and maintainable. Fast and wrong isn't a win.

Accessibility & performance

These aren't afterthoughts. Building inclusive, fast experiences is part of the job from day one.

Mentoring

I value both giving and receiving mentorship. Growth is continuous and best done together.

Team cohesion

The best teams are collaborative, psychologically safe, and genuinely willing to learn from each other.

Currently

I'm deepening my focus on React Native and mobile development, expanding from web into cross-platform product work. Alongside that, I'm investing in accessibility and performance optimisation — areas I've always cared about but want to get sharper on.

I'm also using AI tooling — GitHub Copilot and Claude — as a regular part of my workflow, not just as a novelty but as a genuine productivity layer that lets me move faster without cutting corners on quality.

Outside work

When I'm not building things professionally I'm usually building small projects for fun — it's the best way I know to explore new ideas without the pressure of a production deadline. I'm also an avid gamer.

Get in touch

I'm open to conversations about interesting frontend roles, contract work, or collaborations. The best way to reach me is via LinkedIn.
