About Me
~ $ cat about.txt
I'm Will — a self-taught developer from London who started coding out of pure curiosity and hasn't stopped since. I love building full-stack applications, working deep in databases, spinning up Linux servers, and shipping products people actually use.
From wiring up REST APIs to configuring Caddy reverse proxies — if it involves building something from nothing, I'm in.
