Full-stack developer | .NET · React · TypeScript · Azure | UK
Writing about the things I had to spend too long debugging.
I'm a full-stack developer based in the UK. I write about .NET, Azure, React, and anything else that trips me up long enough to blog about it. My site hardcopy.dev is where I post deep-dives, quick tips, and project write-ups.
When I'm not at a keyboard I'm probably tinkering with mechanical keyboards, self-hosting something on Unraid, or figuring out why WSL is eating all my RAM again.
