About

A seasoned software engineer with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Lancaster University, I have extensive experience in developing and leading software projects. Currently a Senior Software Engineer at Arena, I specialize in designing interactive UI components using React and Next.js, integrating secure payment solutions, and developing core platform features that enhance user experience and revenue. Previously, I served as a Javascript Engineer at MISSION+, where I led teams in agile environments, collaborated on application architecture, and improved team skills through code standard sessions. At Studio Sl2, I was a Full Stack JavaScript Engineer, contributing to scalable micro-service architectures. My earlier roles at Arbisoft and Septem Systems involved converting legacy code to modern frameworks and building reusable modules. I excel in agile methodologies, team collaboration, and delivering high-quality, scalable software solutions.
