About

I’m a curious developer who enjoys building clean, responsive, user-focused web experiences. At work I build WordPress sites with PHP and JavaScript; I have also worked full stack with React (Next.js), Node.js, Express and MongoDB. I like exploring how AI tools such as GPT, Claude, Gemini and n8n can make real products better.
