Resume

April 2, 2025

Welcome to my resume! Detailed below is my journey, the good, the bad and the current. To summarise my experience, I describe myself as a backend developer, only because I enjoy backend development more than I do on the other side of the stack, but I'm equally capable. I currently have a huge interest in Golang and cloud infrastructure with experience in building financial apps, marketing sites, e-commerce platforms and the occasional weird "I want to be C developer so I'll make my life more difficult than it already is" projects.
