Available to hire
I am a senior software engineer with a track record of delivering scalable front-end and back-end systems across Finance, Government, and technology services. I enjoy modernising legacy stacks, mentoring teams, and shaping architectures that balance business goals with user experience.
Recently I’ve focused on migrating legacy front-ends to modern frameworks, integrating AI and automation into payroll and compliance workflows, and guiding organisations through cloud-native, microservices, and DevOps practices. I’m passionate about practical, maintainable code and helping teams grow their technical capabilities.
