About Me
I'm a full-stack engineer with over ten years of experience building web applications. My core stack is React, TypeScript and Next.js with Material UI, organized in monorepos, and I build and integrate APIs in Node.js and Python (FastAPI). I'm currently Engineering Lead at Innovation Associates, and I've previously worked at Accenture and EDS Technologies.
More recently I've shipped a RAG-based chatbot on the OpenAI API, and I use Claude Code and GitHub Copilot day to day, reviewing all AI-generated code against our architecture and security standards. I hold the Claude Certified Developer, Foundations certification from Anthropic. I work closely with designers on accessibility and with back-end developers on API design, because good results come from people working well together.
