Digital product engineer

Making nice things for mobile and the web. Currently building Waywise.

I'm a designer and developer with 15 years of experience building for web and mobile. My current work focuses on building applications with React Native/Expo, Go, PostgreSQL and I'm also having lots of fun with large language models.

Day-to-day I work as a design engineer at OpenRent, a property tech business changing the lettings industry for good.

In my spare time I’m building Waywise, an AI-generated travel guidebook for iOS to allow travellers to explore cities in a more personal and socially responsible way.
