About

My career in tech started at King's College London studying Computer Science. Since graduating I've worked across consulting, healthcare, and SaaS — going from contract developer to building products at Atarim that are used by thousands of web agencies.

Before all of that, I spent over three years as a Personal Coach at Virgin Active. Working one-to-one with people and helping to improve their lives through fitness still shapes how I think about product design — the best interfaces, like the best training plans, meet people exactly where they are.
