REACTTYPESCRIPTNODE.JSTHINKING IN CODEBUILDING WITH CURIOSITY
Some things I've made
A little work.
A lot of curiosity.
From a first idea to the last little detail.
Here are a couple of projects I've enjoyed building.

the Dragon 32
Behind the keyboard
A lifelong
tinkerer.
It started with a Dragon 32 and a fascination with making a computer do something new. That curiosity never really went away.
My path has taken me through IT support, operations, broadcast graphics, and software development. Since 2018, I've been turning ideas into full-stack applications, with React and TypeScript at the heart of much of my work.
Away from the keyboard, you'll find me gaming, watching movies, or learning something new. I like getting stuck into things.
