Career
Twenty-five years across the stack
From classic ASP and Flash to React, NestJS and agentic workflows: a working life across the frontend, backend, infrastructure and, lately, AI. In the 2010s I was the frontend specialist teams reached for when the UI had to be right; that's where today's React, Angular and Vue depth comes from, and the 2020s broadened it back to full-stack and lead. Across every title, engineer to manager, at least half my time has stayed in the code.
