About
I worked on a wide variety of projects over the last decade including xbox.com, the web platform for the PS4, games playable through Facebook and Zoom and a free-to-play mobile game.
My focus now is on building web apps using React, Typescript and Next.js.
Outside of coding I devote my time to fitness, prehab and learning about the latest advances in human longevity.
