About

Background & experience

React and Next.js with TypeScript have been my day job for years. Lately that’s high-traffic commerce at Zoro UK (Grainger), including a move from a legacy React setup toward Next.js-style delivery. Earlier roles were founding and small-team: social commerce, robotics UI, agri dashboards.

I work tightly with design and product when it helps, pair with analytics for experiments where it matters, and keep estimates and trade-offs explicit so delivery stays predictable.
