About me
I began my software development journey in 2014, initially as a software development apprentice. Under the tutelage of generous senior developers, I attended many credible online courses and completed numerous practical exercises. I grew my skills very quickly and began contributing to the development output within a few months.
Now, more than 12 years later, I have grown to become a highly skilled senior software developer. With hands-on, practical experience with every part of the development lifecycle. In 2021, my role was expanded to also undertake a Product Owner role. During this time I have overseen the transformation of many complex stakeholder requests into real and valuable end products.
Moreover, in 2025 I started studying part-time for my bachelor's degree 'Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence' with The Open University. I have completed two modules so far, achieving the highest possible grades. I see the degree as the perfect way to explore the subjects that interest me most. Emergent technologies need to be understood so that they can be utilised in an efficient and responsible way.
