I am a software engineer with 15+ years of experience designing and delivering high-availability SaaS platforms across education, automotive, finance, and cloud domains. I specialise in modernising legacy systems into scalable microservices using .NET 8+, Node.js, Java, and AWS/Azure cloud-native infrastructure. I have led cross-functional teams, designed compliant systems, and optimized high-volume transactional platforms. I am an early adopter of AI-assisted software engineering, using Claude Code and agentic tooling to accelerate feature delivery, automate code reviews, and modernise large legacy codebases. I have hands-on experience migrating on-prem workloads to cloud, re-platforming monoliths into containerised and serverless services, and building multi-tenant, event-driven cloud solutions. I also bring a strong background in procurement, audit-compliant enterprise systems, and ensuring security and compliance in complex environments.
