Backend-focused software engineer based in Brighton, open to Sussex and surrounding areas, London and remote. I earned a First-Class Honours BSc in Computer Science (University of London) while working full time as cabin crew, and I like building backends that hold up in production: APIs, real-time features, and containerised services that don't fall over when an external API does.
