I’ve been building things for as long as I can remember. Minecraft modpacks as a kid (tweaking configs, thinking about how it all fits together for the people using it), building software and teaching in East Africa, web platforms for membership organisations. The thread through all of it? I’ve always been drawn to figuring out how things work and how to make them work better.

My brain works by thinking about what underpins things and what makes them tick. That started in the pool. I swam at national level and coached after that, and what I took from it goes beyond discipline. Every small improvement you made to how you trained, competed, or lived your life compounded over time. You learned to figure out what actually matters, because each day only comes once and you don’t get to retake it. I bring that same energy to software. What’s under the hood matters just as much as what the user sees.
