<div class="subheading mb-5">
Versatile and successful .NET WEB DEVELOPER with over 30 years experience in software development ·
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
</div>
<p class="lead">I am an accomplished IT professional with extensive expertise in .NET development, front-end
technologies, and end-to-end project development.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working on significant projects, such as the Learning Hub at NHS
England, various initiatives at Catalent Pharma Solutions, HEE e-Learning for Healthcare and multiple other
businesses across various industries.
My technical proficiency is complemented by my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to non-technical
stakeholders, ensuring seamless understanding and collaboration.
</p>
<p class="lead">My career is marked by a dedication to delivering high-quality work within deadlines,
consistently following internal processes and procedures to the letter.
I am known for my leadership skills, having successfully overseen teams of developers and provided valuable
advice to senior management.
My approach fosters a positive work environment where team members feel motivated and respected.</p>
<p class="lead">In addition to my technical skills, I have a unique ability to translate technical issues into
simple terms, making me an asset in customer-facing roles.
This ensures that business requirements are met with precision and clarity.</p>
<p class="lead mb-5">I am passionate about my work and always give 100% in everything I do.
My colleagues and supervisors have consistently praised my professionalism, dedication, and the high standards
of my work.
I look forward to continuing to contribute to innovative projects and collaborating with talented teams in the
future.</p>

<h2 class="mb-5">Personal interests</h2>
<p>I am passionate about staying current with the latest development technologies, regularly experimenting with new frameworks and tools to expand my expertise in the ever-evolving software landscape. Alongside my technical pursuits, I maintain a strong commitment to physical fitness, running and exercising daily to sharpen both my body and mind.</p>
<p class="mb-0">My background in Taekwondo, where I achieved a 3rd-degree black belt and served as an instructor for over 11 years, has instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, focus, and leadership. Running successful clubs taught me how to mentor others, communicate effectively, and manage teams-skills I apply daily in my professional career. Although I am no longer actively teaching, I continue to draw upon the mental resilience and strategic thinking developed through martial arts in both my personal and work life.</p>
