01Summary

I've spent 8+ years working across software engineering, technical writing, technical support and commercial web delivery. My background isn't a straight line — which means I'm comfortable close to systems, close to users, and explaining one to the other.

I'm currently a Software Engineer at Genius Software. My core experience is C#, SQL, .NET development and technical documentation, with hands-on work across web, desktop and backend systems, CI/CD, APIs, databases and cloud-adjacent delivery.

I keep selected client websites running through my freelance studio, NOD Studio, as a separate track alongside product work.

06About

My background combines software development, technical support, data work and technical writing. Not a typical route — but it means I'm comfortable working close to systems and close to users, building tools that solve real problems and explaining technical ideas clearly.

I'm currently a Software Engineer at Genius Software and continue building personal projects and selected client websites through NOD Studio.

Outside of engineering I tend to spend time on football, music and whatever side project has caught my attention.
