From sketching out app designs to wrestling the beasts of infrastructure, I’ve been on a mission to understand every layer of the tech stack. CI/CD implementation? Check. Navigating the maze of team culture and organisational structure? Check. E-commerce consulting? Check check.

When it comes down to it, I like people, I like tech, I like the planet… and I love helping people build tech that is better for the planet.
