tech.
I am a full stack software engineer, primarily using javascript/typescript, html/css, react, node.js and a wide variety of technologies within this eco-system.
Currently I freelance, designing and building custom sites and games for clients, and particularly enjoy making fun things that look pretty.
Previously I was a Senior Engineer at ⧉wavepaths, who facilitate unique, personalised music experiences for therapeutic use. Prior to this, I spent 4 years with ⧉IBM iX design consultancy as a Senior Interactive Engineer, working for a diverse range of clients and industries at all scales.
recent projects:
music.
I am a session musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, band leader, event curator/producer/promoter and occasional DJ. You can find me exploring, touring and recording in a wide range of genres including jazz, electronic, folk, indie, pop and all the spaces between. As a part of ⧉Dirty Nice, I am currently an awardee of the ⧉2024 Amazon Featured Artist Coalition Step Up Fund, and also a recipient of the ⧉PRS Early Career Promoter Fund for my work with ⧉donut.
⧉donut jam is a monthly evening of experimentation through sound, light and movement, taking place in the round at ⧉Staffordshire St in Peckham. I produce, curate and host the night, inviting bands from London's improvisational music scene to perform in the round alongside projections by a visual artist, followed by an open jam featuring London's most talented musicians, DJ's, dancers and vendor pop-ups. donut also performs internationally, with a variety of band lineups, with myself as bandleader. Most recently we have been invited to play Le Cocon at ⧉Pete the Monkey festival in France, The Room in Shibuya - Tokyo, and more recently on home turf ⧉Peckahm Festival and ⧉Jazz on Wick.
As a session musician, I work closely with projects such as ⧉Dirty Nice, ⧉Suede Jazz Collective, ⧉Orii Community, ⧉Queen Kaltoum, ⧉Rita Kamale, ⧉Willy Delphia, ⧉Millie Gibson, ⧉Noum, ⧉Rebekah Reid and ⧉TÄPP Collective. I have recorded and performed at such places as Abbey Road Studios, Radio 1's Big Weekend, BBC Introducing at Maida Vale, Total Refreshment Centre, The Roundhouse, London Jazz Festival, Woodburner and Sofar Sounds.
My compositions have found their way into podcasts and exhibitions, most recently scoring the exhibition and short film ⧉The Store by ⧉Tilly Wace and ⧉Kaia Goodenough, held at Staffordshire Street gallery.
