Intro

With over two decades of experience in web development, I’ve honed my craft by working on diverse projects that blend cutting-edge technology with creative problem-solving. While my expertise spans the full stack, I have a particular passion for frontend development, crafting dynamic and intuitive user interfaces using frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js. From building bespoke WordPress themes and plugins to integrating OpenAI’s API into React projects with Stripe payment gateways, I thrive on turning complex challenges into streamlined solutions.

Beyond code, I bring a wealth of experience in team leadership, mentoring developers, and fostering collaborative environments. Whether leading the charge on e-commerce platforms for clients like Pets at Home or delivering innovative healthcare tools like the PASI Calculator, I’ve always aimed to deliver value-driven outcomes. My portfolio reflects not just technical skills but a dedication to building systems that enhance usability, scale seamlessly, and push the boundaries of what's possible.
