I like making
things work.

I'm a software-focused developer who likes the space between a rough idea and a finished tool. That usually means writing the code, shaping the interface, connecting the data, and staying with the problem until it feels simple.

I've built applications from scratch, worked with APIs and databases, and supported real digital projects. Running a mobile café has been useful training too: listen carefully, make a decision, and keep moving when it gets busy.

These are the projects, technologies, and experiences I keep coming back to.
