Skills
A Bit More About Me
When I'm not coding, you can find me on the soccer field playing a match, watching Premier League games, or challenging friends to a game of paddle or tennis. I'm also an avid video gamer and love exploring new destinations through travel. On Sundays during football season, you'll likely catch me pulling my hair out watching the Ravens while strategizing my next coding project.
Current Focus
I'm currently diving deep into serverless architectures and exploring the potential of AI in mobile and web development. Always looking to connect with like-minded professionals and innovative companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible in tech.
