Hi, I’m a backend-focused software developer with a passion for event-driven programming, client-server architectures, and building scalable systems. Over the past several years I’ve shipped projects for startups and government clients, leveraging Ruby on Rails, Python, JavaScript, and AWS to deliver reliable platforms, automation, and data-driven improvements. Recently I led the development of a call-reception platform for health care workers at Plunket using Amazon Connect and AWS Lambda, improving service delivery to around 90% of Kiwi families while reducing per-call costs. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, solving challenging problems, and continuously learning across domains like ML, data pipelines, and cloud-native architectures.…Hi, I’m a backend-focused software developer with a passion for event-driven programming, client-server architectures, and building scalable systems.
