After growing up in London 🇬🇧, I spent a decade as a youth football coach in New Jersey, USA. I mentored players on and off the pitch—building resilience, teamwork, and confidence. Trophies were nice, but the real wins were the long-term relationships with players and their families. That experience shaped how I lead teams and communicate under pressure.

After moving to Berlin 🇩🇪, I completed the Ironhack Web Development bootcamp in Berlin and won the Hackshow with my final project. I was then invited back as the Teaching Assistant for the course I just finished, where I taught solo, ran code reviews, and helped debug full-stack projects—sharpening my own skills while helping others level up.

Today I’m the sole developer at Shep, working directly alongside the two founders of this early-stage startup. With no dedicated tech team yet, I own the entire stack—from prototyping features to deploying production code—while helping shape the product vision and technical direction from the ground up. It’s fast, hands-on, and every line of code directly impacts the company’s future.
