// Based in Wicklow, Ireland
Full-stack engineer specializing in Android — automotive (AAOS) and mobile at SiriusXM, in Kotlin & Compose. I also build AI features and developer tooling.
// About
I design, build, test, and maintain software systems end to end, comfortable owning a project from requirements to production. My core is native Android in Kotlin, but I move freely across the full stack with Django and Node.js.
Originally from Malawi, now based on the Irish coast. Open-minded, a keen traveller and cook, always learning about new cultures and new tooling.
