About Patrick

Senior product engineer with 6+ years taking products from brief to shipped. I work primarily in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and my interest covers the full lifecycle: shaping requirements, designing in Figma, building, and iterating on real-world use.

Recent work includes a complex dispatch and booking platform, a cross-platform podcast app with AI-powered content discovery, an interactive Web3 staking experience, and consumer apps across creator tools, NFTs, and games. I've owned design systems, novel UI patterns, and end-to-end frontend architecture, often as the connective layer between technical possibility and what users actually need.

I also run an AI-assisted prototyping workflow using Claude and Claude Code, which lets me move from concept to working prototype fast. Useful for founders who want to test an idea in real software, not Figma frames.

Open to product engineering, frontend engineering, and design engineering contracts. Based in Tunbridge Wells, working UK-wide and remote.
