Software developer

About

I’m a freelance software developer based in the UK, with a long-standing interest in building small, thoughtful projects alongside client work. I enjoy working across the stack, paying attention to structure, usability, and the details that tend to get overlooked. When work is quieter, I like to experiment with ideas that sit somewhere between code, design, and everyday use — exploring how developer thinking translates outside of software. Product launches for me are usually side projects, built iteratively and shared to learn from feedback.

Slash Star - What code looks like when you wear it

Most developer T-shirts are built around jokes or novelty. This launch takes a different approach, treating developer clothing like a design problem. Each design is inspired by real programming languages and concepts, reduced to minimal references made for everyday wear. Features include language-specific designs, light and dark mode variants, and print-on-demand production to reduce waste. Built as a solo side project by a developer who wanted something quieter.
