Software engineering is the path I am building through practical work that improves digital products and everyday processes.
My career is still in its early stages, but each project has taught me to take responsibility, work through unfamiliar problems, and care about the quality of what I leave behind.
Learning through delivery has shaped a grounded approach to building software: stay useful, keep improving, and make decisions that hold up beyond the first version.

A real-time driver-drowsiness detection system using a CNN–LSTM pipeline to classify eye-blink patterns.
The system was designed around embedded constraints, with the model optimised for ESP32 deployment and connected to Bluetooth alerting for fatigue notifications.

At DENM Digital, I worked on a high-traffic Shopify platform where performance and operational efficiency were central to the work.
My contribution included front-end optimisation, Core Web Vitals improvements, asset optimisation, release automation and Shopify API workflows.
The automation layer processed 200+ product assets and reduced repetitive operational work through n8n and Make.

I built an optometry e-commerce solution around a reusable Shopify foundation rather than treating the project as a single deployment.
The system included React and Node.js components, automated catalogue creation through Shopify's Admin API, collection management and local SEO.
The architecture was designed around a repeatable delivery model capable of supporting 100+ potential client sites.

01 Identify the constraint that actually changes the outcome. |
02 Create the smallest reliable version that can be tested. |
03 Remove repetitive work once the process is understood. |
04 Use real feedback to make the next version better. |

I'm interested in building software where engineering has a measurable effect:
AI that improves a real decision.
Automation that gives people time back.
Commerce systems that make the customer experience faster and more dependable.
Developer tools that make the next problem easier to solve.
