  • Problem definition & requirements gathering
  • Architecture and technical decision-making
  • Delivery planning, estimation, and prioritisation
  • Leading and supporting development teams
  • Stakeholder and client communication
  • Balancing time, budget, risk, and quality

Hands-on engineering

  • Designing and building backend systems
  • Frontend architecture and complex UI flows
  • Reviewing code and setting engineering standards
  • Unblocking teams with pragmatic technical solutions

What I deliver

  • Clean UI + motion
  • Performance + Core Web Vitals
  • A11y-first workflows
  • Docs + handover

How I work

  • Small iterations
  • Design systems
