About

I build practical, user-focused web products.

I'm a frontend developer with 3+ years of hands-on experience building responsive web products and interfaces using React, Next.js and TypeScript. My work focuses on product clarity, usability, and delivering clean, maintainable frontend experiences.

I've worked across client projects, commercial products and independent builds, collaborating with teams to turn requirements into working software. I enjoy building clear digital experiences that balance performance, accessibility and business goals.
