Who I Am

I'm a full-stack web developer with an MSc in Software Engineering from the University of Hertfordshire (2025) and over three years of commercial experience building production web applications.

My background spans backend API development with ASP.NET Core and PHP, front-end work with React and TypeScript, and database design with SQL Server and MySQL — all deployed in real production environments used by real users.

I've built systems for a nationally-recognised cancer research institution, live international awards platforms, and digital news portals — not just side projects, but real-world tools people depend on daily.

I'm based in London, UK, fully authorised to work here, and actively looking for junior or graduate software engineering roles where I can keep growing and contribute from day one.
