MORE,

About Me.

I'm a Full Stack Software Developer with a strong focus on Python and backend development. I enjoy solving practical problems and building useful software.

My recent projects include SiteForecaster and Job Comparer, built using Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript and PostgreSQL. These have given me practical experience building APIs, testing applications and deploying to AWS.

I'm currently looking for a junior Python, Backend or Software Engineering role, and I'm also open to suitable Full-Stack opportunities.
