Bootcamp Graduate

Hi, I’m primarily a React developer with a passion for building an equitable and accessible web that empowers people to build the thing of their dreams. Currently helping video developers in Developer Experience and Open-Source.

Before that I was a business school graduate and a social media marketer, while running a lifestyle blog and writing the odd radio commercial. I love MMOs but I retired in 2011 because I could not stop opening gacha boxes. My favourite game is Contra III and my favourite thing is candid conversations.

If my work or content has ever helped you, consider sending a virtual coffee as a token of thanks!
