What I'm focused on right now.

Podium is where most of my energy is going right now. What started as a web-based health and fitness tracking platform is becoming a fully-fledged mobile app — I'm working through the transition to React Native to bring the nutrition tracking, macro calculations, and workout logging properly to mobile.

The next major feature push is WebSocket integration, bringing real-time updates to the platform — something that changes the feel of a fitness app significantly when your data is responding live rather than on refresh.

Further down the roadmap: integrating with native mobile health data — Apple Health steps, activity rings, and similar — so Podium can build a fuller picture of a user's health rather than relying solely on manual input. The goal is an app that connects the dots between what you eat, how you train, and how you move day to day.

Kura Digital is ticking along with client work in the background — web builds and ongoing maintenance for a small roster of clients.

I'm actively exploring my next role — a fullstack or integrations-focused engineering position where I can bring two years of self-directed commercial experience into a proper team environment and keep growing fast. Based in Manchester, open to hybrid and remote.

If that sounds relevant, get in touch.

The mobile transition is pushing me into new territory — React Native is familiar in places and surprising in others. I'm also getting deeper on WebSocket architecture and real-time data patterns, which are new additions to my toolkit.

Alongside that I'm being more deliberate about understanding the codebases I've built rather than just the features they deliver — working through my own projects with the intention of being able to explain every architectural decision fluently.

Running a one-person agency while building a product and looking for a role is a lot to hold at once. The part-time work keeps things grounded. Manchester's good for that — enough going on, not overwhelming.
