What you can hire me for.

Five practices, one engineer. Senior backend depth with a platform mindset — available for select consulting and collaborations.

01

Software Engineering

Backend systems and APIs built to last — the architectural decisions that don't bite you in year two. I work close to the data, care about correctness, and leave behind code the next engineer can actually reason about.

02

DevOps & Platform

GitOps pipelines, infrastructure as code, and the developer experience that compounds over time. I help teams ship safely and often — and make the boring parts boring on purpose.

03

Cybersecurity

Defensive design and threat modelling — security baked in, not bolted on after the breach. Practical reviews that fit how your team actually works, with fixes prioritised by real risk.

04

Data & Insights

Pragmatic analytics — context-rich data that informs decisions instead of just sitting in dashboards. From pipeline to the chart someone actually acts on.

05

Artificial Intelligence

LLM integration and agentic systems grounded in honest evaluation — not hype. I help you tell the difference between a demo and something you can put in front of users.

How I work

A few operating principles.

01

Foundations first

Get the boring parts right and the exciting parts get easier. No castles on sand.

02

Quiet, not flashy

I'd rather ship something durable than something that demos well and breaks at scale.

03

Leave it better

Readable code, real docs, and a team that's faster after I've gone than before I arrived.

04

Honest about limits

If something's the wrong call — or not worth building — I'll say so early.
