About

A self-taught developer with solid fundamental skills in JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, Next.js, looking for an exciting opportunity to explore full stack development.


I’m a curious and enthusiastic self-learner with a methodical and data-driven approach to completing tasks and solving problems. I have a passion for improvement and growth, of both myself and projects I own.


After a career break to thru-hike Te Araroa (New Zealand’s 3,000km trail) and explore the rugged outdoors whilst experiencing an alternative lifestyle, I’m excited for an opportunity to further develop my existing digital and business skills.
