Junior Software Developer based in Newcastle. Building REST APIs, shipping real products, and running a multi-brand tech business — while finishing my CS degree.
I'm a second-year Computer Science student at Northumbria University with real, hands-on experience that goes far beyond the classroom. I build REST APIs, manage cloud infrastructure, and run a multi-brand business — all at the same time.
My backend skills are practical and proven: I've built full CRUD REST APIs in PHP with dynamic search, pagination, relational MySQL joins, bearer token auth, and proper error handling — deployed on live servers and tested with Postman.
Outside of code, I founded Balancewise Ltd, a three-brand group (clothing, logistics, IT services) where I handle all technical operations including Microsoft Entra ID, DNS management, and email infrastructure across multiple domains.
I'm actively seeking a placement year or graduate role where I can contribute from day one.
A full CRUD REST API for the CHI 2025 academic conference dataset, built as part of KV5035 Software Architecture at Northumbria University. Designed from scratch with clean separation of concerns.
Real-time departure board for Haymarket Station, Newcastle — consuming the live Nexus Metro RTI API and styled to mimic a real station display board.
Led report writing for a responsible AI framework delivered to a real Newcastle-based creative agency as part of a university consultancy project.
Architected the full technical stack for a three-brand business group spanning e-commerce, logistics, and IT services.
I'm actively looking for a placement year or junior developer role starting Summer 2025. If you're building something interesting and need a developer who can contribute from day one — let's talk.
I also take on freelance projects through Balancewise Technologies — REST API development, backend systems, and IT infrastructure. Get in touch to discuss your project.
