About

I'm a software engineer, mostly on the frontend, with experience across the full stack. I'm particularly interested in front-end performance, building interfaces for unconventional form factors, and maximising walk-up usability.

Outside work I'm usually training for a triathlon, or in the sea surfing, paddleboarding or just swimming.
