I started out running pubs and coffee shops ☕ then moved into web development 🖥️. by teaching myself to code and building real projects for real users.
Full-stack web developer based in London, with experience across in-house, freelance and personal product work. I enjoy working across the full journey of a project: shaping the idea, building the frontend, wiring up the backend, deploying it, and improving it once people start using it.
Where I've been
Web Developer
Built and maintained web systems across Laravel, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and AWS. Worked on a custom Laravel CMS with structured content blocks, SEO fields and admin tools, giving the marketing team more control over routine website updates. Managed AWS Ubuntu/Nginx infrastructure for a large portfolio of 0+ live sites: including deployments, virtual hosts, SSL, domain setup and ongoing maintenance. Also introduced Git-based version control and prototyped a React Native compliance app to help demonstrate a new internal product idea.
Freelance Web Developer
Built responsive brochure websites and landing pages for small business clients, with a focus on clean layouts, mobile-first development and cross-browser compatibility. Handled the full project process from requirements and design through to build, deployment and post-launch changes.
Hospitality Management
Before becoming a developer, I worked in hospitality management, progressing from barista to multi-site manager. That gave me a strong foundation in communication, ownership, pressure management and working with people - skills I now bring into software projects.
Things I've built
