About me

Passionate about great software

I'm an Android Software Engineer with a First-Class MEng in Software Engineering from the University of Manchester. I thrive at the intersection of clean architecture and polished user experience — writing Kotlin that's as readable as the apps it powers.

My career spans fast-moving startups and large automotive enterprises, giving me a broad perspective on software delivery, Agile methodology, and building robust systems at scale.

When I'm not shipping code I'm exploring the latest Jetpack libraries, experimenting with Compose animations, and staying current with the evolving Android ecosystem.
