Who am I?

I consider myself someone who is extremely lucky to have found a hobby that I get to do professionally. I've been working as a developer now for three years now - but calling it "work" would be a stretch. I haven't yet gone to bed or woken up one day and had that "Oh no, another day of work feeling". Not once(!) since starting to do this full time.

How I got here

After spending far too many years working within hospitality after finishing university in Brighton, England, I stumbled upon the idea of learning to code. It sounded like the perfect package. Always learning. Problem solving. Creative. Challenging.

I spent just over a year learning the basics of web development from all the resources I could find online. Made a handful of projects, and then dived in to the job market. Luckily enough I landed a job relatively quickly.

What I'm up to now

Iā€™m currently working at Coolstuff, tackling different aspects of the stack. From designing and implementing new customer-facing features to expanding our internal tools, building our personalised product processing pipeline, managing CI/CD, and everything in between.

I've been using Svelte a lot both at work and in my personal projects. I'm in love. But I've needed to jump back into React. So I decided to build this little site here using Next.js.

Outside of work

I love to spend time with my family, have a passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, building new projects, playing drums, and anything to do with the Argentina national football team.
