What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build meaningful, immersive digital experiences that solve real-world problems, using modern web technologies and an agile, project-management-first workflow.

I've built immersive digital experiences at MakeMePulse for clients including Netflix, Spotify, and McDonalds. One website increased monthly traffic by 400%, while a Netflix event page claimed all tickets within three minutes of launch.

Previously at Aranja, I delivered user experiences for Meta, the Icelandic Government, Nova, and Blue Lagoon. The Icelandic COVID tracking app reached nearly 40% of the country, and the Nova app maintains more than 150,000 users and over 33% market share.

At Rareloop, I built stable, accessible digital products in PHP and AngularJS; the Dry January application surpassed 250,000 downloads across more than 170 countries.

I've also modernized legacy systems at Newsquest, helping move a primary codebase from .NET and AngularJS toward a scalable component-driven architecture. I bring a project-management-first workflow, agile delivery, and over 13 years of full-stack web experience.
