About

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over six years of experience building robust, scalable systems across the full software development lifecycle. My expertise spans system design and architecture, where I architect solutions that are performant, maintainable, and built to scale. I bring strong proficiency across a broad set of programming languages and tools, applying the right technology to solve the right problem. My work is increasingly centred on AI, designing and delivering intelligent solutions that tackle complex, real-world problems and empower humans to make faster, more informed decisions. I take a principled approach to engineering: writing clean, well-tested code, designing systems with long-term maintainability in mind, and collaborating effectively across cross-functional teams. I am always open to connecting with fellow engineers, technical leaders, and organisations working on meaningful, technically challenging problems, particularly those at the intersection of AI and human decision-making.
