senior software engineer by day, side-project hoarder by night, mechanical engineer in a past life (yes, I escaped).
- senior engineer in the UK public sector, building things I unfortunately can't put on the internet
- co-founded GDG Stoke-on-Trent, where we somehow convinced 180+ people that Stoke is a tech hub
- mentor at Code Your Future and Women Coding Community, helping devs at every stage who actually want to get good at this
- Natter, a phone-based AI welfare platform tackling elderly loneliness and unmonitored decline. It calls, holds real conversations, picks up on warning signs, and alerts family when something's off
- a UK version of CodeTV, developer-focused content rooted in the UK ecosystem
- the usual graveyard of half-finished repos I keep telling myself I'll finish (lies)
TypeScript Python NestJS FastAPI React Next.js React Native AWS Azure OpenAI Docker whatever the job actually needs, honestly
- founding engineer at Payday (600k+ users, $5.1M raised, eventually acquired, I should've negotiated harder)
- founding engineer at Reporta Insights, a fraud intelligence platform now used by 50+ Nigerian financial institutions to combat digital financial crime
- built and shipped Rate Watch, a cross-border payment rate aggregator that compares providers so you actually know who's giving you a fair deal
- shipped software across Africa and Europe, including stints at Hälsa Hemma in Sweden and Beyond IT in Italy
- mechanical engineer who saw the light
- based in the UK
- I think every developer should contribute to open source somehow, whether that's code, money, or just showing up to the conversation
- I'd like to think I'm decent at FIFA, my friends have opinions
if you want to talk AI, fintech, healthtech, security, or building communities that people actually show up to, I'm around.
"it works on my machine" is a personality, not an excuse
