About

Hello! Dual UK/Irish citizens with full rights to work across the UK and Europe. I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a diverse background spanning SaaS, Web3, data engineering, and startup ecosystems. From building fintech compliance tools for scale-ups to leading frontend development in fully remote teams, I’ve consistently delivered impactful software across multiple industries. Most recently, I’ve been working in Web3—building dApps and leading community initiatives using tools like Wagmi, Viem, Remix, and Next.js. Prior to that, I worked on frontend architecture and internal tooling at Holland & Barrett, and built scalable data pipelines and infrastructure as a data engineer. I thrive in small, agile teams, love mentoring engineers, and enjoy bringing clarity to complex systems. I'm especially passionate about community and have organised the North’s largest tech meetup for junior devs in Manchester. Core Skills: TypeScript, Go, React, React Native, Next.js, Node.js, Docker, GraphQL, CI/CD, Web3 (Solidity, Hardhat), Playwright, Prisma, and more. Open to: Collaborations, mentoring, community speaking, and exciting technical challenges across Web2 and Web3 spaces.
