Content Creator, Web Developer & Digital Innovator

I'm an award-winning content creator and filmmaker, and non-award-winning author with a passion for building engaging digital experiences. My career spans content creation, web development, and digital media, and I've developed a unique ability to fuse creativity with technical expertise. This allows me to build and manage high-traffic online platforms from the ground up.

I'm the founder of several successful web projects, including Higgypop and Paralearning. I've built, scaled, and monetised content-driven websites, and my filmmaking achievements include ''My Ghost Hunting Movie'', an award-winning feature documentary. I also grew my YouTube channel to over 100,000 subscribers, earning the platform's Silver Creator Award.
