Software engineer. Problem solver. Big fan of tea.
I’m a software engineer in Norwich. I founded the DevelopHER Awards in 2015, and these days I mostly think about Angular and AI.

Projects
DevelopHER Awards
The job: run a whole awards ceremony online, from public nominations to judging day, without drowning in spreadsheets.
What I built: the public site, the online nomination form, and an admin dashboard for reviewing, shortlisting and managing every entry.
The awards: eleven years running, 250 guests every year and thousands of nominations, with past sponsors including Google, Microsoft and Oracle.
Angular GraphQL / Hasura AWS
Unda
The idea: my own product, helping paddleboarders find calm water nearby and know whether today is a good day to go out.
What I built: a map-based mobile app pulling live weather, tides, river levels and water quality into one “best time to paddle” view, with saved spots, safety info and an SOS feature. Plus the launch website and waitlist.
Where it’s at: in testing now, launching on iOS and Android soon. The waitlist is open.
Angular + Ionic Firebase Maps & live data
