The Cornwall Chapter
I grew up in Cornwall, where the sea and the close-knit community shaped how I approach collaboration. Being in a tech-savvy family meant I was troubleshooting computers from a young age.
Portuguese Interlude
I spent three years in Portugal's Algarve while my mother ran a bar. It was a crash course in people skills—watching her handle both locals and tourists taught me a lot about communication and adaptability.
The Java Awakening
As a teenager, I discovered Java while working on a game-related project. My goal was to build a private server, which meant long hours on Stack Overflow and the occasional small victory when code finally ran.
Self-Taught & Persistent
With limited formal opportunities, I learned to code on my own. I started with frontend work but eventually focused on backend development, building solutions—sometimes with AI assistance—wherever I see a need.
