About me

Programming

Currently I’m a tech lead at iwoca, contributing to the groundbreaking iwocaPay in a hand-picked, powerhouse team. We’re reshaping the landscape of B2B finance.

My background is full-stack. Day to day I use Typescript and Python alongside React, Django and Astro.

Art

Since 2017 I’ve been creating artwork with my friends and colleagues at Fast Familiar. We’re a registered charity supported by major institutions like Arts Council England, the European Commission, The Cabinet Office and more.

Our work has graced prestigious venues including a 6-month exhibition at London’s Science Gallery. At Fast Familiar, I’ve held roles from engineering director to CTO.

Academia

I used to be an academic. During my tenure at Goldsmiths, University of London, I wrote and oversaw modules in MFA Computational Art and multiple Computer Science programs. Notably, I designed the Mobile Development module for University of London Worldwide, taken by thousands of students globally.

Food

I really like food. I curate recipes on here if you want to try some.

Running

I have ran 3.5 marathons. Mostly as a challenge to myself. Sometimes as a dare. I enjoyed half of them and plan to do a few more.
