About

I'm a software developer and systems analyst who enjoys solving real business problems with clean code, reliable systems and a focus on long-term value. With strong experience in C#, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, MIS and reporting, I build systems that are scalable, maintainable and designed around real operational needs.

I also work with practical AI integration, including the OpenAI API, structured outputs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and controlled AI-assisted automation where they offer a clear operational benefit.

I am open to permanent development roles, either office-based in Southampton/Hampshire or remote, as well as selected software and systems projects.
