About

I'm Bertie - a full-stack developer who turns bright ideas into fast, accessible web & mobile experiences.

With 7+ years at Bryter Digital in Canterbury, I deliver end-to-end solutions that feel effortless for users and bullet-proof for clients. Leveraging React, Next.js, React Native, TypeScript, and Node.js, I blend sleek front-end craft with dependable back-end muscle to ship high-performance products from idea to production.

I thrive on collaborative problem-solving, obsess over user-centric design, and never stop exploring new tech—so every release is better than the last.

Let’s connect and create something exceptional!
