About Me

A backend-focused developer currently at SilverBirch Studios, where I build and maintain production-grade systems serving enterprise clients across healthcare and education. I care deeply about clean architecture, robust API design, and writing code that scales — and holds up under pressure.

My core expertise is Java and Spring Boot — microservices, event-driven architecture, RESTful APIs, and database engineering with PostgreSQL and Redis. On the frontend I'm proficient with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, and I've shipped full-stack applications from design through to deployment.

I'm fully committed to lifelong learning and genuinely excited by the pace at which this industry moves. Outside of code I enjoy reading web comics, hitting the gym, and gaming.
