About: I’m a backend-focused software engineer with over a decade of experience, specialising in Ruby on Rails and the art of untangling legacy codebases. I’ve spent the last several years helping teams rescue brittle systems, introduce testing, and modernise their infrastructure without burning everything to the ground. I care deeply about clean architecture, developer happiness, and leaving codebases better than I found them.

Outside of work, I’m a dad of two, a lifelong gamer, and the kind of guy who gets weirdly excited about deleting thousands of lines of obsolete code.
