🌍 Bristol, UK & Isle of Man 🇮🇲

I'm a tech optimist who loves to solve challenging problems and craft beautiful user experiences. I thrive on new challenges and refining processes to deliver elegant solutions.

A proven collaborator, I'm motivated by opportunities to learn from exceptional individuals and make meaningful contributions.

I relocated to the Isle of Man in May 2022 to support my partner's role with the Manx Wildlife Trust and have been hybrid working since then.

When not at work I love music, the great outdoors, playing sport and learning new programming languages. 🎛️🥾🏉🤓
