About

Full-Stack Developer working in production at scale, with an academic record at the top of his cohort and a habit of building products from the bones up.

I graduated from Edinburgh Napier University in 2025 with a First Class Honours in Web Design and Development — achieving the best result and best project in a cohort of over 30 students. My honours project, Imopeksis, is a full-stack educational platform built with Vue 3 and Express, featuring 50+ articles, audio streaming, and audience-targeted content delivery.

Since 2024, I have been working as a full-time developer at Amazon, building Flowy — a real-time associates management tool used across multiple departments. The system handles 24-hour shift planning with live WebSocket updates, complex CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise-grade reliability built on Vue, TypeScript, AWS, and PostgreSQL.

As a Saltire Scholar, I completed an internship under Gareth Williams, Co-Founder and former CEO of Skyscanner. I focused on data analysis and AI-driven solutions, analysing government procurement procedures and delivering actionable reports that improved stakeholder decision-making.

Outside of work, I am building Private Coach — an AI-powered cycling coaching SaaS application using Next.js 15, Supabase, and Google Gemini. It processes Garmin FIT files, integrates with Intervals.icu, and delivers personalised training insights through interactive maps and performance analytics. I also develop and maintain Aquati.co.uk, a WordPress e-commerce platform for a UK water solutions provider.
