I am a Principal Engineer and Technical Leader with 25+ years of international experience designing and delivering large-scale, cloud-native, secure and highly available platforms across HealthTech, Telco, Logistics, and Payments. I specialise in modernising legacy systems into distributed, event-driven microservices using Java, Spring Boot, Golang, Kafka, DDD, and multi-cloud deployments across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I have a proven track record architecting mission-critical healthcare systems, building SaaS platforms serving millions of users, and driving engineering excellence through observability, CI/CD automation, performance optimisation, and scalable data architectures. I also apply AI engineering (RAG, vector DBs, open-source LLMs) to augment automation, reduce operational overhead, and enable intelligent decision-support capabilities. I am known for architectural leadership, mentoring, cross-functional collaboration, and delivering high-impact solutions in complex, regulated environments.
