About me😎

Profile Pic Gif

I am a Software Engineer, ready to make an immediate impact and to build products that people love.

I have previous formal Software Development experience with Microsoft, the NHS and the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and I have contributed to various projects within the Mobile and Game Development space.

Project Highlights - Here I hope to give a little more in-depth about these projects - the design, code and the problems they solve.

Blog Posts - I like to communicate my broader interests within Software Development through writing about it.

In my spare time, I manage a growing YouTube Channel with 15,000+ subscribers and 3 million+ views, which you can find here. I also like to travel as well as make use of my amateur photography & videography skills.
