About

I'm Steve, a senior software engineer in northwest England. Over 12 years I've delivered scalable cloud and web applications, led remote teams, and built CI/CD pipelines. I specialise in Microsoft Azure and .NET.

I began tinkering with computers at the age of 10 and quickly developed a passion for building websites, scripts, and video games. That curiosity evolved into a career built on the principle: "do what you love and you'll never truly work a day in your life". While software engineering can be demanding, I find it consistently engaging and rewarding.

Tech Stack

Over the years, I've delivered reliable, scalable solutions across multiple industries, working both in permanent roles and as a consultant. I enjoy collaborating with teams, solving complex problems, and turning ideas into well-engineered products.

.NET (framework)
JavaScript
MS SQL
