About Me

Who I Am

If there’s one thread that runs through my career, it’s curiosity — the kind that makes you take things apart just to understand the magic inside. I’ve always believed that technology is a puzzle waiting to be solved, and I approach every challenge with patience, persistence, and a genuine passion for learning.

My journey into tech began with two diplomas in computing, followed by a degree that solidified my love for the digital world. Before stepping into software development, I worked at a well‑known electrical retail company, surrounded by the latest gadgets and equally tech‑obsessed colleagues. Somewhere between explaining features and testing new devices, I picked up amateur electrics and soldering — and developed a habit of dismantling things “just to see how they worked.”

After graduating, I landed my first developer role at a software‑based document‑management company. It was very much a “thrown into the deep end” situation — and somehow, I swam. Working with a brilliant team, I built diagnostic tools, integrated third‑party systems, and eventually delivered a major project for the National Health Service.

A few years later, curiosity nudged me toward something new. I joined a young company and helped build a greenfield project from the ground up. With only two developers, it was equal parts exhilarating and terrifying — but the result became a huge success, earning awards and glowing feedback from users.

After my time working with the country’s health sector, I realised I wanted a change. As fulfilling as the work was, the strict procedures made it difficult to experiment with newer, more efficient technologies. Then I found a globally established software company with mature systems and decades of history — the perfect place to learn from long‑standing architectures and contribute to software used worldwide. I’ve proudly continued that role for nearly ten years.

Outside of work, I’ve made a conscious effort to explore more hobbies. I picked up archery, rediscovered fishing, and developed a deep fascination with Japan — its culture, history, and language. After years of studying Japanese, I finally visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima. The experience left a lasting impression, and I plan to return as often as possible.

Today, I bring together everything I’ve learned — curiosity, patience, problem‑solving, and a genuine love for technology — to build software that’s reliable, thoughtful, and user‑focused.
