Looks like you have JavaScript disabled. For the full Twine experience, you will need to re-enable it.

I’m a Backend Engineer with 7+ years of commercial experience in .NET/C# across Azure and AWS. I specialise in building and owning backend systems — REST APIs, data layers, event-driven and asynchronous services, and cloud-based infrastructure designed to be maintainable and reliable in production. I work directly with stakeholders to define what needs to be built and why, and I take ownership from design through to production. At my current role I reduced customer onboarding from days to hours by rearchitecting a dashboard platform and moving to a configuration-driven approach. I’m comfortable across distributed systems, migrating legacy monoliths to microservices, and I actively use AI-assisted tooling as part of my workflow, owning everything that goes into the codebase.…I’m a Backend Engineer with 7+ years of commercial experience in .NET/C# across Azure and AWS.
