Architecting systems that don't just work — they scale, perform, and last.
Full-stack engineer with 3+ years building production systems across the full delivery lifecycle — from system design to CI/CD. I've shipped APIs serving thousands of requests, optimised slow queries that killed performance, and built UIs users actually enjoy using.
I'm not just a feature implementer. I think about architecture, data integrity, security posture, and operational maintainability from day one. Whether the stack is Java Spring Boot, .NET, or Node — I care about doing it right.
BSc Information Technology · Clean Code Advocate · API-First Thinker
📐 System Design — REST, microservices, event-driven architecture
🔐 Security — JWT/OAuth2, Spring Security, HTTPS, input validation
⚡ Performance — DB indexing, query optimisation, caching with Redis
🧪 Testing — Unit, integration, E2E with JUnit, Jest, Cypress
🚀 CI/CD — GitHub Actions pipelines, Docker containerisation
📦 API Design — OpenAPI/Swagger-documented, versioned, paginated
🌐 Frontend — Responsive, accessible, state-managed UIs
☁️ Cloud — Azure & AWS deployments, managed databases, storage
I build systems that age well.
Most bugs aren't logic errors — they're architectural decisions that weren't thought through early enough. I apply solid design principles (SOLID, DRY, separation of concerns) so codebases remain maintainable as teams and requirements grow.
I think in APIs.
Whether it's a Spring Boot microservice, a .NET Web API, or a Node/Express layer — I design APIs that are intuitive to consume, documented with OpenAPI/Swagger, and secured properly from the start.
I own the full lifecycle.
Design → build → test → containerise → deploy → monitor. I'm comfortable at every stage and understand how each decision upstream affects what happens in production.
Teams that treat engineering as a craft, not a commodity. Environments where:
- Code reviews are conversations, not gatekeeping
- Technical debt is tracked, not ignored
- Ownership is distributed, not siloed
- Architecture decisions are documented and revisited
I thrive in remote-friendly, async-capable teams building products with real users and real scale concerns.
