ABOUT ME
Engineer focused on crafting software that brings joy and fosters change
Engineer focused on crafting software that brings joy and fosters change
Hello!
I have over 15 years of programming experience, and graduated with a first-class degree in computer science from a well-known university in the UK.
I have worked in several sectors, including as a backend / data engineer for a large online retailer, as a full-stack developer of web and mobile apps, and as a video game developer.
I currently provide freelance software development and consulting services to startups, helping them to get their ideas off the ground, and to build a solid technical foundation for their business.
I also love teaching and mentoring, and have worked with several up-and-coming engineers to help them along their path in the industry, as well as producing educational / instructional content.
Whether you're an entrepreneur with plans to build something great, or a student hoping to kick-start their career, I look forward to working with you!

Jason was very nice, helpful and professional with me. He is very knowledgeable and and prepared many useful resources to help me with my queries regarding AWS and helped direct me into what would be the best practices for my project in addition to explaining the logic/concepts behind some practices on AWS. I highly recommend him.

Ranging from full-stack and mobile app development work, to advising on technology strategy and roadmaps.
I enjoy working with smaller companies and early-stage founders, guiding them through the process of turning their ideas into functioning MVPs, and helping them to build a strong technical foundation for their business.
I also love working with clients in all sectors to solve deep technical problems which require bespoke software solutions, built with an eye for design, user interaction, and problem-solving.
