• 💼 Software Engineer at Starling Bank
• 👨‍💻 Technical interests: fintech, cloud infrastructure, backend engineering
• 🎓 Computer Science MSc • Philosophy BA
• 🚀 Outside of work: hiking, skiing, surfing, gym, BJJ

I’m a software engineer with a love for problem-solving and over two and a half years of experience working in fintech. My path into tech wasn’t the most conventional—after earning a BA in Philosophy, I spent much of my twenties traveling, living in different countries, chasing adventure, and even starting a business before diving into software engineering. What began as self-taught coding eventually led me to pursue a Computer Science MSc and, ultimately, a career in fintech.

I currently work at Starling Bank as a backend engineer, primarily working in Java within the lending division. Along the way, I’ve also contributed to projects across cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), search technologies (OpenSearch), and frontend development (React, JavaScript, and TypeScript). I’m particularly drawn to tackling complex engineering problems and working collaboratively to build reliable, well-structured software.

Outside of work, I like to keep active and spend time with friends. If I have time off, I’ll probably be hiking, skiing, or surfing, but day to day, you’ll find me grabbing coffee, cooking, watching movies, hitting the gym, or out on a trail run. I’ve also recently started learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which has been an exciting new challenge.
