Experience

Over the last four years working at a digital agency (Brave), I have developed strong skills as a developer. My experience includes building and maintaining websites of varying size and complexity, refining internal development processes, and troubleshooting day-to-day issues within a small team. By working closely with designers and clients, I have developed a strong understanding of user-centric design principles.

Alongside core website development, I have contributed to more complex, data-driven features and integrations, including dynamic search and quoting functionality, client-managed content and inventory tools, and collaborative work on backend data pipelines that support live website content.

I am committed to industry best practices and writing clean, readable code. I enjoy creating visually polished and technically robust solutions, and I’m genuinely passionate about web development, regularly spending time on personal projects and learning new technologies.
