About Me

I’m a full-stack developer specialising in Vue, Nuxt, and .NET, with a focus on building bespoke web apps and custom tools that off-the-shelf platforms can’t deliver. I build both internal tools that connect seamlessly with existing business processes, and public-facing applications that deliver smooth, reliable user experiences. I care about software that’s practical, maintainable, and a pleasure to use. By combining modern frameworks with clean architecture, I help businesses move past generic, cookie-cutter templates and into systems that genuinely support operations.
