I grew up in rural Dorset taking apart computers before I'd learned to properly put them back together. That curiosity led me to programming, and by the time I finished school, I'd built a maintenance tracking system for a local dairy - solving real problems with code felt natural.

At 18, I moved to London for a software engineering apprenticeship at Sky, where I'd spend the next decade building customer-facing platforms. I worked across NowTV, Sky, and Peacock - account management systems, subscription flows, help sites, and retention features. These platforms served millions of users daily, and getting them right meant balancing complex business requirements with polished, accessible interfaces.

I ensure accessibility without compromising aesthetics. Poring over the details: transitions, spacing, micro-interactions. Providing the polish that makes something feel premium.
