Career Summary

I'm a software Developer with a unique foundation in Health, Safety & Environment (HSE), bringing a dual perspective to technology. My passion lies not just in building scalable web applications and automating data pipelines, but in applying the rigorous, safety-first mindset of IOSH standards to every project. I excel in multidisciplinary teams where I can bridge the gap between technical execution and operational safety, ensuring the tools we create are not only efficient and secure but also genuinely supportive of the people who use them.
