After graduating in 2019 from
University of Leeds
with a First-Class honours in Computer Science, I spent three years at
Answer Digital, starting as a Java developer before gradually moving toward Node.js
and full-stack JavaScript. I worked on a variety of projects in the
health sector, from web-apps to data retrieval and reporting tools.
These days, I’m comfortable working across the full stack, from
frontend interfaces to backend systems, APIs, and database
interactions. Whilst I have worked across multiple domains, my recent
experience has crystallised around web-development in its fullest
scope. I enjoy learning new tools when they’re a good fit, while
keeping things practical and reliable. I’m especially drawn to work
with a positive social impact — through open-source, communities, or
mission-driven teams — but above all I value building software that
genuinely helps the people using it.
Since moving to Paris, I’ve continued as a freelance software developer,
collaborating with start-ups, co-ops, and charities on projects ranging
from academic publishing platforms and charity web-shops to semantic web
experiments involving dataspace connectors. Alongside my freelance work,
I’ve been a network member of
Code-Operative
(a UK-based tech co-op) and
HappyDev Paris
(a Paris cell of the French network of freelance software developers),
both have now sadly wrapped up their endeavors. I am now an active
member of
SEPHEO
— an evolving mutual society for freelancers.
