About me

Broad IT experience, deep where it matters.

Throughout my career I've predominantly worked independently, often taking on challenges and responsibilities on my own — which forced a wide, practical skill set rather than a narrow one.

I bring extensive experience in DevOps, working with tools like Docker and cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

As a full-stack developer, I have a solid background in backend technologies including PHP and Ruby, paired with frontend expertise in React and jQuery.

My database experience spans from Informix and MySQL to MS SQL and NoSQL solutions. I've also developed a few mobile applications in Java, broadening my technical skill set further.

What I offer

Services for your project

Extensive experience across various facets of IT and development — here's how I can help.

Web Accessibility

4+ years auditing and improving digital accessibility in line with WCAG, including audits for clients like P&G and GSK using AXE Deque and Siteimprove.

I've trained cross‑functional teams — UX designers, QA, developers and PMs — in accessibility, and built custom scripts to identify and fix issues. Accessibility should be about including the 1 in 7 people facing digital barriers, not just avoiding legal risk.

Page Performance

Deep understanding of page load speed and optimization, including a custom monitoring tool built to track and improve site performance.

Collaborated with developers and designers to implement strategies that maximize speed and efficiency across very different platforms and technologies, forming a solid knowledge base and repeatable procedures.

Web Development

Full‑stack experience across front‑end, back‑end, databases, hosting and networking — often as a one‑person team.

Proficient in Python, JavaScript (Node.js & React), and PHP, with an ongoing interest in emerging tech like HTMX and web components.

Database Dev & Admin

Seasoned professional in SQL database programming and administration, with growing NoSQL experience.

Designing efficient schemas, fine‑tuning queries and managing NoSQL complexity to deliver robust, reliable data solutions.

Cloud Services & Automation

Cost‑efficient, fast, scalable and environmentally responsible hosting, built on experimentation and automation.

Automation minimizes human error and keeps operations consistent, allowing prompt responses to changing demands with reliable outcomes.

"Do you want to be even more successful? Learn to love learning and growth. Success isn't just about reaching a destination — it's about the continuous journey of self‑improvement."
