About me

Programming

I’m a Tech Lead at iwoca, where I lead a hand-picked team of seven engineers across three funnel teams to build iwocaPay iwocaPay and help reshape the landscape of B2B finance.

I have a full-stack background, and my day-to-day work centers on TypeScript and Python, using frameworks and tools like 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.

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.
