— WHO AM I?

ENGINEEREDWITH CODE.DIRECTED WITH DESIGN.

I enjoy working across layers because the most interesting problems rarely stay in one place. A slow screen might be a query issue. A clumsy workflow might start in the UI but end in application logic. A product that feels simple usually depends on careful decisions underneath it.

That is the part of software I like most: understanding the whole system. UI, application logic, databases, APIs, AI workflows, computer vision, and desktop software all become more useful when designed to work together instead of being bolted together.

Based in Cambridge, UK, I build products that aim to be technically serious and pleasant to use. Not just functional. Not just visually polished. Both.

MYTOOLKIT

Systems

Software Engineering

Typed, modular, boring-by-default code that explains itself under pressure. Engineered from interface to data, not just the visible layer.

JavaPythonTypeScriptJavaScriptSQLC++Java SwingJavaFXElectron

Craft

Creative Development

Turning ambitious design into real, responsive, maintainable interfaces without dumbing down the visuals or killing performance.

ReactNext.jsTailwindR3FMotion

Platforms

Web Development

Fast static sites, edge-rendered pages, reusable UI systems, and deployment pipelines that actually keep working after launch.

ReactNext.jsTailwind CSSGitGitHubGitHub ActionsCloudflareNetlify

Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

Using AI and computer vision where they add real value: barcode pipelines, nutrition lookup, recipe reasoning, vision features. No buzzwords.

Interface

UI / UX

Thoughtful flows, keyboard-first navigation, editorial typography, and interfaces that feel deliberately composed instead of improvised.

FigmaSystem DesignInteractionPrototypingA11yResponsive

Storage

Databases

Relational schemas, local offline-first stores, edge object storage, and data boundaries that keep systems understandable long-term.

05 — Technical Playground / Stack

A technical ecosystem, plus a living lab.

The stack is grouped by how I actually use it. The lab is where the work becomes interactive.

Stack ecosystem

Languages

Used for product code, application architecture, utilities, automation, and data-heavy workflows.

JavaPythonTypeScriptJavaScriptSQLC++

Application Development

Where desktop products, installers, and local-first workflows come together.

Java SwingJavaFXElectronNode.jsFlatLaf

Data & Storage

Schemas, indexing, structured local data, and persistence decisions that keep products stable.

Web, AI & Infrastructure

The delivery layer: web interfaces, interactive systems, computer vision, APIs, and deployment.

The lab

FoodFinder case study

A full desktop product story around barcode scanning, nutrition data, AI recipe discovery, and local-first architecture.

04 — EXPERIENCE

A TIMELINEOF REALmilestones.

No invented clients, no inflated metrics, no filler. Just the genuine progression — from first lines of code shipped outside tutorials to the current phase of building evidence-first product work with clear engineering judgement beneath it.

2026NOW

01 — PHASE
MILESTONE·Started coding
Started programming
Started with web fundamentals, then moved quickly into scripting and application logic. That early stretch taught me how software behaves beyond tutorials — files, state, inputs, and failure.
Built first website from scratch without frameworks
Learned by shipping small utilities rather than copying tutorials
Started exploring how software behaves across UI, files, and logic
02 — PHASE
MILESTONE·Desktop product work
Built real application foundations
Moved from isolated features into complete software systems — desktop interfaces, structured data, and applications that had to keep working beyond development.
Built desktop software with Java and structured local persistence
Worked across UI, application logic, and data modelling
Started treating maintainability as part of the product
03 — PHASE
MILESTONE·AI + CV projects
FoodFinder and applied AI / vision work
Pushed deeper into AI-assisted applications and computer vision. FoodFinder brought together barcode scanning, nutrition workflows, recipes, local storage, and product thinking in one system.
Built a working barcode-to-recipe desktop experience
Combined AI workflows with practical application architecture
Used OpenCV / JavaCV in a product context, not just an experiment
04 — PHASE
MILESTONE·Product delivery
Shipped more complete technical products
Expanded into products that needed packaging, updates, deployment, and sharper UX. The work became less about isolated features and more about full product systems.
Built desktop and web products with stronger delivery polish
Worked across distribution, release workflows, and product clarity
Focused more on systems that feel good to use, not just ones that function
05 — PHASE
MILESTONE·Currently building
Building what comes next
The current phase is about raising the bar: stronger product storytelling, more interactive technical work, and software that proves how I think across interface, logic, data, AI, and delivery.
Refining portfolio and case-study presentation around real products
Exploring AI-assisted applications, modern desktop software, and interactive web experiences
Using the web itself as a way to demonstrate engineering judgment
