• Implemented a comprehensive observability stack (metrics, logs, traces) to detect issues before customers do.
• Partnering with product teams to define SLOs and error budgets, shifting culture towards reliability.

Built the engine for efficient equipment appraisal. Architected resilient backend services that handle real-time media uploads and keep data properly synced across the distributed auction system.

• Designed an event-driven media ingestion pipeline that processes thousands of images without blocking users.
• Instrumented performance dashboards that gave operations leaders real-time visibility into appraisal bottlenecks.

Core engineer for transaction processing systems. I designed and built the KYC workflows, digital wallet ledgers, and real-time payment integrations that served the platform's rapid growth.

• Launched PCI-compliant transaction microservices with automated reconciliation, catching errors instantly.
• Co-led the squad delivering KYC and virtual cards, enabling the company to expand to new markets.

Specialized engineering training and delivery. Developed internal tooling for content generation and collaborated on high-frequency trading components for global financial partners.

• Built an OpenAI-powered generation service that allowed editorial teams to produce content 5x faster.
• Completed rigorous training in distributed systems and secure coding practices for financial services.

Maintained the critical microservices powering Vodafone's AI assistant (TOBi). Responsible for ensuring the high availability and performance of a system serving millions of requests.

• Optimized conversational AI microservices, reducing latency and improving user satisfaction scores.
• Maintained SLO-driven monitoring dashboards and served on-call rotation for production incidents.

Delivered custom software solutions for clients in fintech and logistics, specializing in taking greenfield ideas to production-ready, scalable cloud applications.

• Consulted on full-stack architecture for startups, helping them launch products within months.
• Containerized legacy applications on AWS, reducing hosting costs and improving deploy reliability.

Mentored a cohort of 11 engineering students. Facilitated code reviews, pair programming sessions, and daily standups to simulate a professional engineering environment.

• Designed technical curricula that helped students master complex algorithms and React patterns.
• Conducted over 100 code reviews, teaching best practices in clean code and version control.

Worked with the product team to build a responsive, accessible dashboard for agricultural investors. Focused on component reusability and UI performance.

• Refactored the React codebase to use a unified design system, speeding up future feature development.
• Implemented accessibility best practices, ensuring the platform was usable by all customers.

Taught Science and ICT. Developed curriculum and mentored students, fostering a love for technology and problem-solving.

• Introduced practical ICT lessons that bridged the gap between theory and real-world application.
• Guided students in career selection, with many going on to pursue STEM fields.
