TLDR; I’m a Web/Software developer. I make cool websites, apps, games, and if you ask nicely food.
From writing batch scripts and building custom desktops at age 16 to managing high-pressure restaurant kitchens and developing enterprise software solutions, my journey reflects a unique blend of technical expertise and operational leadership. Growing up in a service industry family, I started working at 14 and climbed through both front and back of house operations to become an Executive Chef. This experience taught me invaluable lessons in team dynamics, rapid problem-solving, and systems thinking. When COVID transformed kitchen innovation from creative passion to pure metrics, I fully embraced my longtime love of technology, drawing on over a decade of experience with LayerStation UK where I developed solutions ranging from commercial hosting to esports servers. My background in C# taught me disciplined programming practices, while my chef experience honed my ability to lead teams and deliver results under pressure. Today, I combine these diverse experiences to create efficient, innovative technical solutions while maintaining the high standards and quick thinking I learned in professional kitchens.
I bring fresh, creative solutions to every challenge, ensuring your business stands out in a competitive digital landscape.
With over a decade of expertise, I combine deep industry knowledge with modern tools to deliver results that matter.
I make decisions based on insights, not guesswork, ensuring strategies that are efficient, effective, and measurable.
