Work Experience

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer / Partner at ColorInvent
January 1, 2025 - Present
Architecting and leading development of a multi-product SaaS portfolio spanning AI-driven color matching (CiMatch), point-of-sale (CiAtlas), and color data management (CSS). Driving end-to-end product delivery — from system design and API development to front-end SPA implementation — accelerating the company's time-to-market. Defining IT strategy, cloud infrastructure, and engineering best practices as a founding technical partner. Spearheading integration of AI/ML color-matching capabilities, extending platform accuracy beyond legacy spectrophotometer limitations.
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer (Freelance) at Shell
August 1, 2023 - September 1, 2024
Doubled simulation data API retrieval performance (2x throughput) through targeted profiling and algorithmic refactoring in a geological modeling platform serving petrotechnical engineers. Eliminated third-party API dependency risks by refactoring system to use only official supplier endpoints, improving long-term maintainability. Diagnosed and resolved critical WPF UI defects caused by reverse-engineered third-party library issues, restoring stable production operation. Streamlined CI/CD pipelines and conducted systematic code reviews, reducing build times and improving code quality across the team. Delivered proof-of-concept features that were adopted into the production roadmap.
Senior Java Software Engineer at ASM
May 1, 2022 - July 1, 2023
Improved reactor temperature control accuracy to meet strict ±5°C tolerance in a high-stakes semiconductor furnace control system, directly supporting production yield. Implemented vacuum leak-rate detection algorithm using Kalman filtering, achieving 10% accuracy within 10 seconds — enabling rapid process diagnostics. Designed and built process model simulations for control validation, reducing reliance on costly physical test runs. Prototyped an internal reactor video surveillance system with real-time anomaly detection, improving process safety and incident response.
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer / Tech Lead at Sherwin-Williams
November 1, 2016 - April 1, 2022
Led full-cycle design and delivery of Color Web — an enterprise-grade distributed color matching and color management system used across global operations. Architected microservices platform on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), enabling independent scaling of color-matching algorithms and APIs. Reduced query response times by implementing optimised data access patterns and introducing OData REST APIs, improving UX for thousands of end users. Built proprietary color-matching SDK adopted company-wide, standardising algorithm integration and accelerating feature development. Secured the platform via OAuth/OIDC integration, bringing it in line with enterprise identity management standards. Established CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, cutting manual release effort and improving deployment frequency.
Senior Software Engineer at Baker Hughes
November 1, 2013 - November 1, 2016
Enhanced seismic data storage efficiency using z-order (Morton) curve spatial indexing, significantly reducing I/O overhead for large geological datasets. Improved 3D visualization performance through adaptive high/low-resolution rendering, enabling smoother interaction with complex subsurface models. Developed key seismic and well-view interpretation features for the JewelSuite platform, expanding its analytical capabilities. Optimised network and data layers, reducing latency for data-intensive workflows.
Software Engineer at ZyLAB
July 1, 2012 - November 1, 2013
