Personal website · professional profile
I build full-stack JavaScript applications across React, React Native, and Node.js, turning unclear requirements into working products. I also bring product-ownership and delivery experience from cross-functional teams.
Preferred nameLjThe short form of my name that I use in everyday professional communication.

Primarily full-stack development, with product-ownership and delivery experience to draw on.
My main focus: building full-stack JavaScript web apps with React, React Native, and Node.js. APIs, dashboards, internal tools, and integrations.
When a team also needs requirements clarified, user stories written, and stakeholders coordinated, with an engineer's read on trade-offs.
Structure, documentation, and delivery follow-through alongside the build, when a role calls for it.
I studied Software Engineering at the University of Manchester and built my career across several technical environments: web and mobile software, industrial automation, Kafka/OpenShift platforms, public-sector reporting, and delivery coordination.
My background is non-linear, but the pattern is consistent: I work best where technical systems, unclear requirements, and delivery pressure meet. I help turn ambiguity into structured work, documented decisions, and usable outcomes.
