I'm a software developer at Scott Logic focusing primarily on JavaScript development, particularly with React. Recently, I've also taken an interest in mobile development.

I joined the company after studying Mechanical Engineering at Bath and Computer Science (MSc) at Bristol. The fantastic learning opportunities at Scott Logic are one of the main reasons I joined, and as a result I'm currently learning functional programming (F#) in between projects.
