I help turn ideas into reality.

I live and breath everything that makes a successful web applications engineering project.Specialising in large TypeScript, Vue.JS, Node.JS & JavaScript SPA projects in Monorepo environments. Also with extensive experience in.Net C#, MongoDB, Elastic Search, Relational DB\'s (MSSQL, MySQL, CockRoach etc.) and cloud providers IaaS/SaaS/PaaS offerings from AWS, Azure and GCP. I also have a huge amount of experience with JS tooling and test driven development with Vite, Webpack, Mocha, Chai, JEST, Cypress (E2E and Component testing), Lerna, NX etc.I create the necessary building blocks to not only make large scale projects succeed but allow them to scale. Whether that is through pipeline and release automation (CI/CD), structuring and mentoring teams or instilling a mentality of best practice code reviews, design patterns and SOLID principles.Successfully grown and led teams both large and small having managed all stages of team development from hiring, assessment, appraising and building strong team culture.But that\'s not all!
