profile

Backend-focused engineer who learns fast and debugs calmly.

I am a Junior Software Engineer based in the Midlands with 3 years of experience across C#, SQL Server, VB.NET, system migrations, and client-facing software work.

My strongest area is backend development: understanding existing systems, finding the source of problems, improving reliability, and building practical solutions that fit the architecture already in place.
