    I&#x27;m a Product Engineer and a creative based in London. I’ve built full-stack applications across web, mobile, blockchain and embedded platforms. My client-side work includes React, Electron, Roku’s Scenegraph, and native iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI, always with a strong focus on UX and design-first thinking. On the service-side, I’ve worked with traditional service hosting, containers, and serverless, including (but not limited to) AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Workers, CloudFormation, SAM CLI, nodejs, bunjs, MySQL, Postgres, NoSQL, grpc, Redis, Docker, nginx, and a few legacy tools best left unnamed (yes, including CodeIgniter and ftp).

    I’ve also developed developer tools like CLIs and SDKs, primarily Typescript&#x2F;JavaScript land, and have written code in systems languages such as Rust and Zig.

    I care about great UX, developer experience, documentation, rapid iteration and automating workflows with CI&#x2F;CD (GitHub Actions, Bash scripts, etc).

    Also familiar with modern development practices by leveraging coding agents, such as opencode, claude and open-weight models as I care about cost. To iterate quickly, I rely on an inference provider such as Fireworks.
