About
I'm a developer with over 7 years of experience across the frontend and the backend. I care about the unglamorous parts: the API that doesn't fall over, the form that works on a bad connection, the page that a screen reader can actually get through.
Most of my work has been in regulated domains where trust matters: investment platforms, telemedicine, development banking. I've migrated dashboards between frameworks, built GraphQL services on Kafka, and written the test suites that let a small team ship on a Friday. These days I work at Tightline, and I help run Africoders.
