About.

I’m a web and app software engineer based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, with over 14 years of experience. I specialise in modern JavaScript frameworks such as Nuxt.js and React, as well as backend solutions including Laravel and MySQL. Throughout my career, I’ve designed, prototyped, and delivered applications that have gone into production across both business and commercial sectors.

At Mainline Menswear, I led the transformation of their digital platforms, overseeing web (React, Next.js, Nuxt, Tailwind, Bulma), mobile (Swift, Kotlin), and backend/API development (Laravel, Slim PHP, PHP, MySQL). I managed distributed teams, guided product roadmaps, mentored developers, and ensured smooth delivery through JIRA and code reviews. Working closely with designers and marketers, I directed UX and A/B testing, optimised performance, and delivered responsive, SEO-driven redesigns that enhanced both user experience and business results.

"Simplicity is the best policy."

Beyond Mainline Menswear, my experience includes building hybrid iOS/Android apps with Ionic, Cordova, and Appcelerator Titanium; developing e-commerce platforms in Magento, Opencart and WordPress; and delivering mobile solutions for clients such as the NHS, Carillion, Addison Lee, and London South Eastern Railway. I’ve also developed in-house tools, like a goods-in tracking system built with jQuery, PHP, and MySQL, streamlining operations and improving efficiency.

Working with a wide range of companies has shaped my skillset and allowed me to grow as a full-stack developer across both frontend and backend technologies. I’m passionate about creating seamless user experiences and have successfully driven A/B-tested changes that were adopted into production based on customer insights. You can read more about one example of this at Mainline Menswear’s A/B testing success story.

"I enjoy challenges that spark that late-night ‘eureka’ moment."

Outside of work, I’m a huge fan of video games and technology. With a degree in Computer Games Modelling and Animation, I’ve gained strong design skills and remain passionate about one day developing my own game. As a fan of the Star Fox games, I’m working towards building my own on-rails shooter in Unity as a personal project.

Beyond coding and gaming, I’m a Manchester United supporter, and I enjoy relaxing by going on countryside walks, swimming, spending quality time with the family, and watching the latest films at the cinema.
