About

Fifteen years of making systems work together.

I started in 2010 writing desktop software for jewellers, then moved through ASP.NET and iOS development, project management and technical architecture. In 2019 I went independent. Since then I have built ERP, e-commerce and CMS systems for clients, and designed how robots, PLCs and the applications that run them talk to each other.
