Who am I?

Who am I?

I'm a fullstack developer with a focus on backend development and developer tooling.

I have 8 years of experience building systems in Python and TypeScript. Over my career I've developed a strong passion for robust, performant code and developer tooling.

I'm always looking to learn new things and challenge myself. This website has my writing and links to my Github account where you'll find my latest projects.

Outside of work I enjoy rock climbing, SCUBA diving, and hiking the various mountains and trails around Cape Town.
