I am a front-end software engineer based in London. For the past three years I have been working at Mozilla. For the first two years I worked on a mobile operating system called FirefoxOS. I've spent the past year in the Connected Devices team developing new products.
Prior to Mozilla I was at the Financial Times working on large web-applications including the award winning FT Web App and The Economist Web App.
I most enjoy working at the view/presentation layer, producing fast, responsive interfaces, with the level of polish users expect from high-end applications today. I strive to make seemingly complex problems simple and easy to digest, breaking down large issues into small manageable chunks.
I strive to produce robust work of the highest possible quality, tackling problems with patience and determination.
