Profile

Full Stack Engineer with five years’ experience shipping web and mobile products end to end, from API design and data migration to polished React front ends. At Atos I led a squad delivering secure Next.js and React systems for the Metropolitan Police, and now build Scala services for the Home Office.

Outside work I build and run my own products: a football tactics platform with 537 paying subscribers, used by 56 YouTube channels, and a React Native prediction game with 70K+ downloads. I’m looking for a product team where engineers own outcomes, not just tickets.
