Hello, I'm George. I'm a full-stack .NET developer with experience working in a wide range of roles and industries.
About me
After graduating with a degree in Physics with Astrophysics, I realised I enjoyed the programming aspects of my course and pursued this as a career. Since then I've worked in a variety of industries including healthcare, banking, professional services and more recently in a tech startup.
I work with a range of stacks including C# .NET, HTML/CSS/JS, React and SQL. I am also familiar with using AI integration, payments processing, SEO, Azure cloud infrastructure and more. Though I am always willing and able to pick up new technologies as needed!
When I'm not developing software, I enjoy getting outdoors (hiking, camping, kayaking) climbing, playing video games, gardening, travelling, reading and playing the piano.

I am currently working at Bunch, a startup/scaleup allowing customers to manage and pay their bills in one place. This uses ReactJS for the frontend with C# API microservices hosted on AWS and using Zoho as a CRM. As a small team, I have been involved in almost every part of the system from front end changes to the portal, creating new functionality for managing customer debt repayments to migrating a wordpress site from another provider onto AWS.
