// story
I wasn’t great at school, but I excelled at fiddling with computers. At 14, hacker movies got me into cybersecurity — which gave me a deep early sense of how systems actually work.
University was where I met software for real. I combined coding with a love of games, and at 19 published my first Unity title to the App Store. Seeing strangers use something I’d made was the moment that locked it in. I’ve been writing code daily since.
Nine years later — Quality Management, food tech, supply chain, and now AI databases at Weaviate — I’ve built a career out of shipping resilient backends and full-stack applications. The last two years have shifted the work itself: most of what I produce is now driven through agentic workflows. The discipline is the same; the leverage is different.
// philosophy
I’m not a special engineer. What makes me different is that I’m a builder — I treat whatever I work on as my own product, look for the small ways to add a personal touch, and try to leave the team and the codebase better than I found them.
// currently exploring
- claude code skills — composing reusable workflows across projects
- custom mcp servers — when the existing ones don’t fit, write one
- prompts as code — versioning, evals, code-review like any other source
// beyond code
- finance — money flows, cash-economy nuance, the reason Jointly exists
- tennis — lifelong; Roger fan
- building products — Jointly + WeProject, both born from personal need
