Profile

About

I'm currently working as a software engineer at Sky, and have a Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London. I aim to deliver intuitive, performant and accessible web applications. I want to solve complex problems, and craft innovative experiences that go above and beyond.

Outside of code, I enjoy making art and music. I wish to bring elements of creativity and playfulness into my work, and build products that bring smiles to people's faces.
