About Me

I've been building full-stack apps and headless CMS setups for 4+ years, mostly with Next.js and Sanity. Currently leading engineering at Roboto Studio, where we build content platforms for clients across the UK and India.

Most of my time goes into TypeScript, monorepo architecture with TurboRepo, and custom Sanity plugins. I also maintain Turbo Start Sanity, an open source starter with 155+ stars on GitHub.

Available for freelance projects and consulting, especially around headless CMS implementations and custom plugin development.
