Hemi combines full-stack engineering and deep product experience to solve real user problems.

Ben Bradshaw

Tech Lead, Sharesies Business

Hemi has a great attitude and a positivity that has been felt within the team. He cares about the work he does and the people he works with. He connects well with others and has built great relationships with others on the team. He’s also very technically capable. He asks good questions at the right times with a willingness to learn and desire to improve. He has progressed faster than we expected and we have been able to give him larger pieces of work than we originally planned for an intern to pick up and deliver. Hemi thinks about the wider picture of what he’s building, including the business impact and customer base we have. He wants to understand the why behind the what. This, combined with his previous business experience and solid work ethic means he’s a great all round person to add to a team.

About Me

I build full-stack applications with a product mindset —balancing technical precision with real world impact.

My background spans over a decade as a business owner, product designer, and photographer. That experience taught me to think holistically: to understand user needs, translate them into elegant interfaces, and deliver solutions that truly make a difference. Whether I’m working solo or within a cross-functional team, I bring clarity, momentum, and strong intuition for UX and strategy.

In recent roles, I’ve led the development of both internal tools and public platforms—from a self-service dashboard at Sharesies to an AI-powered job description generator and a wedding planning app that connects couples with local vendors. My toolkit includes modern frameworks like Next.js, Supabase, and React, but I choose tech based on what the problem requires, not hype.

I care about building things that work well, look great, and improve people’s lives.
