About Me
A little more about who I am
I'm a software engineer currently working at CMR Surgical, building and maintaining web applications with React, TypeScript and Node.js. I started my career at CMR Surgical as a graduate engineer, where I worked on internal tooling before moving into a full software engineer role, then spent time at Burberry before returning to CMR Surgical in October 2025. I graduated from Edge Hill University with a first class degree in Web Design and Development, and I've been building things for the web ever since. Outside of work I enjoy keeping up with new frontend tooling and building side projects to try things out.
