Problem Solver · Operator · Developer

I find what’s broken
and fix it. Platforms,
processes, CVs.

I’m an operations lead, developer, and problem solver with six years at Scrimba, an online coding education platform.

I’ve built and run community programmes, maintained and developed platform features, reviewed and edited technical courses, and managed email campaigns reaching over 9 million sends.

I get things organised, get things fixed, and get things shipped.
