About

I’m a software engineer and educator who enjoys working across all stages of the software development lifecycle. I’m drawn to work at the intersection of business goals and engineering, where software architecture and data models come together to support real users and organisations.

My background is rooted in both academia and industry. I hold a Master’s degree in ICT and a Master’s in Knowledge-Based Entrepreneurship. Earlier on, I represented Malta at the International Olympiad of Informatics and later won the European pitch deck competition STup!, experiences that pushed me to think clearly under pressure and communicate technical ideas effectively.

Currently, I'm a senior lecturer and vocational coordinator at MCAST, where I coordinate software and multimedia programmes and lecture in full stack development, web technologies, and databases. I have also designed and developed a Management Information System for the institution, used by over 6,000 students and staff.

Previously, I've worked at software house Exigy, and in academia at the University of Malta.

Outside of work, you can usually find me running, or at the gym.
