What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead development on impactful SaaS/web products, where I can ship polished React/Laravel experiences, improve performance and UX, and collaborate closely with design and backend teams.

I’m a Lead software developer focused on building SaaS and web platforms that feel fast, accessible, and reliable. At Sprintlaw, I developed a custom legal services platform—creating a responsive React and TypeScript frontend and using Laravel for secure backend infrastructure—improving client accessibility and service efficiency across UK and Australian markets.

Previously at Mekmo, I led development of a comprehensive component library for a healthcare ecommerce marketing team and launched a marketing website for a Quantity surveyor. I also contributed to product work at MapQuest by migrating legacy web app components to React, and at Blooq I maintained legacy systems and built a 3D T-shirt customisation web app for a luxury clothes brand. I enjoy tinkering with side projects and trying new tools to keep improving how things work.
