01 · About

Developer across the stack

I'm a senior full-stack developer who enjoys working across stacks — web, APIs and mobile. Day to day I design, build and ship features end to end, write tests first, and automate the path to production.

Alongside web work I build mobile apps: I designed and delivered a complete digital pass solution for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet on iOS and Android as a solo project.
