About

I’m a software engineer who has worked extensively with JavaScript. I’ve used JavaScript across the stack to create platforms at companies such as JP Morgan, Canon, Elsevier and Eurostar. I’m currently tackling problems with Node.js, React and Kubernetes while running Code with Hugo. Outside of work, I’m an international fencer, in the pursuit of which I train and compete across the globe.

The goal of Code with Hugo is to help developers spend less time digging through documentation/StackOverflow/GitHub Issues/source code and more time solving the business problems at hand.
