About me

My interest in Software Engineering started as a child when I became enthralled with all things tech, building my first computer at age 9 and becoming the local IT guy at 15.

In 2013, I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Brunel University with First Class Honours and went on to have a successful 9 year career in technology and engineering companies across the UK. Throughout my career I have wanted to move into a more technical role and my recent Full-Stack training at iO Academy has provided me with the skills needed to begin building a career in Software Engineering.

My interest in technology and engineering was born from understanding how their intersection can solve large scale problems and create a myriad of future opportunities. I am passionate about building solutions that are efficient, innovative and sustainable.
