About

I am a software engineer based in Dundee, Scotland, with 10 years of experience (primarily front end). I am currently on a career break as of February 2025 so I can focus on both my personal and professional development.

In my most recent position I was an Engineering Manager at Partnerize for a couple of years.

I have previously worked on a number of interesting projects:

When I am not coding I enjoy investing and trading, travelling, playing guitar and the Japanese language.
