Bio

I'm a Squad lead and software engineer at OVO Energy with a passion for creating innovative solutions in the energy industry. With over 5 years of experience, I have managed projects, built integrations, and solved complex problems using technologies such as React, React Native, Gatsby, Next.js, and more. I have a proven track record of driving results and achieving impact in my previous roles, including projects to implement push notifications, optimize app updates, and create help sections from scratch.

As a mentor at OVO Energy, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with fellow team members, helping them develop their skills and achieve their career goals. I also actively mentor externally, providing guidance and support to aspiring software engineers in the broader tech community. I believe in the power of mentorship in fostering growth and empowering others to reach their full potential.

In addition to my mentoring activities, I am an active participant in the tech community in Bristol. You can often find me attending social events, meetups, and conferences, where I connect with fellow professionals, exchange ideas, and stay updated on the latest industry trends. I am passionate about building meaningful relationships and contributing to the vibrant tech ecosystem in Bristol.

In my free time, I also indulge in my love for staying active through running and hitting the gym, as well as exploring historic monuments and playing board games or video games with my friends. I'm constantly curious and always learning, currently exploring new technologies such as Astro.js, App Module Federation, and Next.js 13. I'm committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in software engineering and staying ahead of the curve.

With a blend of technical expertise, mentoring experience, and active involvement in the tech community, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact in the industry. Let's connect, collaborate, and make a difference together!
