Hello, my name is Alex.

I'm a Bristol based software engineer who specialises in custom backend solutions & app development. Currently, I'm an engineer at MadeTech focussed on building accessible, human focussed products for the public sector.

About me

I graduated four years ago, and have since worked in web, infrastructure, and mobile roles.

I've excellent communication and organisational skills, and highly enjoy working in a team. I'm looking to learn as much as I possibly can about software engineering and computer science. From front-end dev to machine learning, I need to know it all!

When I'm not doing computer stuff you'll find me on some hill hiking, biking, or climbing.
