About
I’m a web developer with fourteen years of experience building reliable, high-performing digital products. I started my career with Drupal, drawn to its flexibility and the technical challenges it offered. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with custom module development, theming, system architecture, and performance optimization for websites operating under real-world traffic and scale.
Before joining PLUS IMPACT, I spent thirteen years at Inspiral Creative Agency, where I led development and delivery for a wide range of international clients. My work included projects for McDonald’s Australia and New Zealand, CB Bank Myanmar, Alsharq in Germany, as well as UN agencies, chambers of commerce, NGOs, and other organizations across the region.
Alongside hands-on development, I led a small engineering team, managed code reviews, guided technical decisions, and took ownership of complex problems that often fell outside clearly defined responsibilities. That experience shaped how I approach engineering today: not simply writing code, but thinking about architecture, maintainability, delivery, and the wider impact of technical decisions.
Outside of work, I’m usually somewhere between post-rock, ambient, and progressive metal or experimenting with coffee with considerably more precision than is probably necessary.
