My career path started in Electrical Power Engineering, moved to Control Systems and Robotics, during which I taught myself to code websites, and then I took the leap (and pay/status cut to junior) to move into web development. After a few years of this, I created M9Y, a solo consultancy specialising in on-demand video creation and related cloud pipelines.

With a strong passion for the web, user experience is always at the forefront, though the tech stack is a close second. I'm most engaged when I'm able to flex my design skills, and add spots of whimsy and delight throughout an experience.
