About Me

Before I ever wrote code, my career was about caring for people at their most vulnerable. At 17, I started working in a care agency, learning quickly what responsibility really meant. I moved into private care supporting people with high-need disabilities, where patience, adaptability, and empathy were essential.

From there, I spent time in elderly care as an activity coordinator, bringing moments of joy, routine, and dignity through events and daily engagement. Eventually, I moved fully into medical care, becoming a senior carer across multiple nursing homes. I was responsible for overseeing the day to day care of up to 30 residents at a time, leading staff, coordinating healthcare tasks, and making decisions that directly affected people's wellbeing.

My final chapter in healthcare was with the NHS, where I spent three years working across A&E, Medical Assessment, mental health, and disability services. It was intense, demanding, and deeply human work that taught me resilience, clear communication, and how to stay calm when things matter most.

Working within such a mentally demanding environment made me realise I needed a break, so I decided to change career to see if something completely different might be right for me. I taught myself how to code and went on to become a full stack engineer at a price comparison website. I enjoy the work, but something has always felt missing.

What I miss are the deeply human moments, the feeling of helping people directly, from all walks of life, and all manner of disabilities. So now, I'm bringing both careers together. By combining my background in healthcare with my expertise in frontend development, my goal is to specialise in accessibility and building digital experiences that work for everyone.
