I'm a software developer who loves tackling interesting problems, optimizing systems, and building tools that simplify workflows. I'm very comfortable with Node.js and Python and have experience with C++ and Java. I specialise in building robust backend and cloud-based systems, and adapt confidently across different software disciplines such as neural network optimization and LLM data engineering. I believe the most important aspect of software is people. Effective communication and collaboration are more powerful than individual skills. I've contributed to scalable, robust operational flows at Elekta, and enjoy collaborating with frontend, backend, and data teams to drive outcomes. I value working with multidisciplinary teams and mentoring others.

Work Experience

Backend Developer at Elekta
July 1, 2021 - Present
I have played a key role on the web team to consolidate our digital footprint into a streamlined, efficient, and maintainable codebase. Working alongside the LMS, Catalog, and regional teams, I completed feature integrations into Elekta.com that increased productivity and reduced friction between teams. I frequently support frontend implementation and routinely monitor and debug issues in our build pipeline. I contributed to a scalable, robust operational flow that adheres to best practices. More recently, I designed and implemented the backend and database schema to support an in-house FrontDesk application. This multi-purpose web app provides booking management, badge scanning, and lead capture at our largest trade shows. Elekta is now able to track the impact of event spend and project potential sales faster, while saving money on third-party solutions.
