I am a Lead Software Engineer and Engineering Manager (ICT Head of Build) with 25+ years of experience,

Frontend development and UX/UI architectures.
Using functional programming, component-driven development, accessibility, and semantic design, I build scalable

optimization, and improving developer workflows.
I communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. I’m also an expert
