Full-Stack Developer · 5 Production Apps Live PHP · Python · React · FastAPI · Firebase · Stripe Connect · AI APIs
Full-stack developer with 5 production apps serving real users today. After 15+ years managing hotels across the UK — from porter to General Manager — I taught myself to code and started building the tools I always wished existed.
My edge: I understand both the operations and the technology. I've managed P&Ls, led teams of 50+ staff, and handled real-world logistics — so the software I build actually solves real problems.
