Senior Technical Leader | Platform, DevOps & Full-Stack Engineering

I build products and platforms, and I’m also an entrepreneur. My work sits across infrastructure, developer experience and full-stack delivery.

Day to day I blend Golang, Python and Terraform with cloud-native tooling to ship systems that are reliable, scalable and practical for real teams.

Wedding - Scotland

Samuel in Scotland

Scotland was our wedding chapter. It keeps me grounded and reminds me what matters when work gets noisy.

London Art Exhibition

Samuel in London

London was an amazing art exhibition and a reminder that good design and storytelling matter as much as technical quality.

Fun Side Quests

Fun quests stay in the mix. Small playful projects keep the work creative and stop everything becoming too serious.

Projects

I am actively building 3 to 5 larger projects at any time. Some are released, others are in progress and moving fast.

A lightweight SolidJS wireframing app for designing screens and component layouts, with a strong focus on reusable UI patterns.

An app inspired by my wife. We decided that sharing how we are feeling matters, then I went overboard and added loads of games.

A Kubernetes-first management app for handling clusters, deployed apps and day-to-day cloud platform operations.
