Software Engineer & Product Builder
I design, build and ship software that solves real problems — from the first rough idea through to production.
Most of my work sits around SaaS, infrastructure and developer tools, with a focus on making complicated things feel simple to use.
ForgeRelay — keep pull requests moving in Slack and Discord.
A SaaS that turns GitHub and GitLab activity into focused chat conversations: routed to the right channel, with mapped reviewers, live CI updates, and quiet reminders. Live product — shipping routing, CI and delivery polish.
