My current focus is on cross-platform web development (PWA) in Vue.js.
I prefer working on Linux in statically typed languages, such as Typescript, and have an interest in functional programming techniques in F#, Rust, and Haskell,
although most of my professional experience is in C# and Node.js, with Angular or React.
I'm also competent in leading small teams, and in helping customers to distill their needs for an app,
prioritise them, and document them in writing and as basic visual and functional designs.
My experience includes creating software for large corporates and small startups:
