About me

People-first leader.
Always learning.

Development Director from Nottingham, originally from Jamaica. Over a decade building teams, bridging gaps, and trying to leave things better than I found them.

Open to new opportunities

Development Director

Building teams that perform, and people who grow.

I've grown from frontend developer to director-level leader across some of the UK's leading digital agencies. Most recently at IDHL, I helped unite five separate development agencies into one cohesive, high-performing team.

What drives me isn't the org chart; it's the people. Watching someone step into their potential, seeing a team click into gear, building a culture where people actually want to show up. That's what I'm here for.

I'm currently open to my next leadership role where I can drive real impact.

My story
D&I work
People first

How did you get here?

It started at university on a Multimedia course, where I discovered web design and development almost by accident. That curiosity never left. Over the years I built things, taught things, and grew more confident in both my craft and my ability to share it.

I spent four years as a Lecturer in Media at New College Nottingham, teaching students real-world frontend skills while running freelance projects on the side. Watching a student land their first industry job? That doesn't get old.

The move into agency life

I made the move into full-time agency development at JH in Nottingham, growing from frontend developer to Pod Lead, managing a team delivering large-scale eCommerce builds. That leadership role opened a door I didn't know I was walking toward. I discovered I was just as energised by developing people as I was by developing software.

The IDHL chapter

At IDHL I served first as Head of Development at Pinpoint, then as Development Director across the group. The brief: take five separate agencies, each with its own culture, and build one unified team. We established performance review structures, cross-team training programmes, and sustainable ways of working.

One highlight I'm proud of: a training initiative that helped Adobe Commerce developers upskill into Shopify, unlocking new career paths and expanding capability across the business.

Diversity & Inclusion

This matters to me personally. I've spoken at Tech Nottingham, Drink Digital, HackSoc, and allyship events in Leeds. My view is simple: if we build products for a diverse world but refuse to invest in diverse talent, we're failing everyone.

I've also advised ProjectFunction, a programme creating pathways into tech for underrepresented groups. If I can help one person find their way in who might not have otherwise, that's a legacy worth having.

"Forward ever, backward never."

Beyond work

I'm a dad first. I do the school runs, read in class with the kids, show up at sports days. Family isn't something I fit around work; it's the reason I take my work seriously.

I also compete in raw powerlifting. In March 2026 I entered my first WRPF competition and finished 2nd in my class with a 495kg total. Training taught me something I already believed but needed to live: setbacks are part of the process. How you respond defines the outcome.
