About Me

I am a high-performing software developer with a particular interest in the JVM and compilers. While working for IBM I gained experience developing microservices in Java and deploying them to Kubernetes clusters.

I have also successfully produced multiple patent applications, some of which are shown below.

I enjoy learning by developing personal projects for fun. Some of my favourite projects are highlighted below.
