About
I started out on the .NET side, building an internal asset manager at Supreme Netsoft. From there I moved into PHP — first as a developer-cum-manager delivering a full school management system at Kickson, then almost four years at PrintShoppy building the backend for a production e-commerce platform.
Along the way I picked up Go and React on my own, and I now use AI-accelerated tooling like Claude Code daily — both at work and on personal projects — to move faster without losing the fundamentals.
