Software Engineer building secure systems for real-world use

Laravel, Node, React, infrastructure, and applied security, I’m currently finishing a Level-7 MSc apprenticeship in Software Engineering

About

I build solutions with a focus on clarity, maintainability, and real-world use. I'm most comfortable working on systems where outcomes matter, and solutions need to survive contact with production.

My work spans application development, automation, security-aware design, and integration across platforms such as Microsoft 365 and third-party services. I prefer to work requirements-first, focusing on practical solutions to problems faced by real people.

Alongside full-time industry work, I'm completing a Master's-level programme in Software Engineering. I place a strong emphasis on applying technical solutions in real-world contexts, which naturally leads me to operate across multiple domains.
