Why I Am Here

I am currently studying BSc (Hons) Computer Science and building software to develop a solid understanding of how systems work end to end.

Before entering full-time study, I worked in retail management while teaching myself web development fundamentals. This led me to complete the Northcoders Software Development bootcamp, where I gained hands-on experience with full-stack applications, testing, and collaborative development.

My current focus is on strengthening fundamentals: programming discipline, system boundaries, data flow, and correction. I am intentionally moving away from surface-level feature building toward deeper understanding of backend architecture, APIs, databases, and application design.

I am seeking environments that value clarity, correctness, and long-term thinking over sleep alone.

Technical Foundations

I work primarily with the following technologies and concepts.

  • Git
  • GitHub
  • Figma
  • Excalidraw
  • HTML5
  • CSS3
  • JavaScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • React
  • Axios
  • Dart
  • flutterFlutter
  • Node
  • Express
  • PostgreSQL
  • Jest
  • SuperTest
  • Functional Programming
  • Test Driven Development (TDD)
  • Agile Methodology
  • Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

What I Can Work On

I build full-stack applications with clearly defined boundaries between frontend, backend, and infrastructure.

On the backend, I design and implement REST APIs, authentication flows, database schemas, and permission rules, with tests validating behaviour and failure cases. On the frontend, I focus on predictable state management, clear data flow, and interfaces that reflect backend constraints accurately.

I prefer working through problems end to end, ensuring that each layer of the system behaves correctly rather than masking issues behind abstraction or UI workarounds.

Outside of Work

Outside of software development, I read extensively and maintain interest in fiction and long-form narrative writing. These interests have shaped how I think about structure, consistency, and long-term progression, which also informs how I approach complex software systems.

I value focused, quiet work and environments that allow for sustained attention and deep learning.
