I’m a Belfast-based Senior Software Engineer with a unique journey that’s taken me from crafting fine dishes in the French Alps to building award-winning websites and applications.

Before diving into the world of software development, I spent a decade as a chef, cooking by day and learning to code by night. That mix of creativity, precision, and adaptability prepared me for a bold career shift. I packed up my snowboard, traded my chef knives for coding tools, and returned to the UK to bring my passion for building and problem-solving to the tech industry.

Today, I specialize in full-stack development, leveraging tools like React, NextJS, TypeScript, and cloud technologies to create impactful, scalable digital experiences. Alongside my technical expertise, I’ve always had a strong passion for teaching and mentoring—something I honed in both kitchens and codebases. Guiding new team members and sharing knowledge gives me immense satisfaction, whether it’s about crafting the perfect dish or writing clean, efficient code.

When I’m not coding, I’m channeling my creativity through photography and juggling—proof that precision and playfulness can go hand in hand.
