I am a software engineer specialising in cloud platforms, AI/ML systems, DevOps, and MLOps. I have built and deployed production solutions using AWS, SageMaker, Python, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD automation, including an EV telemetry platform that reduced analysis time from one week to 30 minutes and an automated Terraform testing framework that eliminated two days of manual testing per release. I enjoy turning complex technical challenges into reliable, secure, and practical solutions that create measurable business value. My experience includes developing hybrid LLM and rules-based FinOps systems, automating model retraining, presenting technical recommendations to senior leadership, and collaborating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
