Attention to user detail
I am often recognised for noticing the small details that shape a user's experience, and for turning those observations into clearer, more thoughtful interfaces.
Hi, it's Carine.
Making complex systems simple and useful.
About me
I create clear, usable software that people can trust.
I'm a software developer based in Norwich, currently working at Aviva. My work sits across React applications, AI-assisted tools, dashboards, analytics, and interfaces that help people make sense of information.
I like building software that feels useful in the real world. My best work starts with understanding people: what they need, where things feel unclear, and how a simpler tool could make everyday work easier.
