I build software and platforms that scale.

Software and Platform Engineer with 10+ years across product engineering, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and technical leadership.

10+years building software & platforms
30%reduction in AWS infrastructure spend
4 to 5years shaping architecture and standards

Quick fit

Useful when the system is complex and the outcome matters.

Best fit Software and platform engineering, backend systems, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and technical leadership.

Working style Hands-on, collaborative, and comfortable moving between architecture, implementation, delivery, and operations.

01 / Selected impact

Engineering decisions that move the business forward.

01

A platform built for change

Designed and operated production infrastructure spanning AWS EKS, Hetzner bare metal Kubernetes, and LXC. Brought diverse environments under consistent automation and operational standards.

  • AWS EKS
  • Kubernetes
  • Terraform
  • Ansible
02

Visibility across every layer

Standardised observability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, and Sentry. This gave teams clearer signals across cloud native and legacy workloads.

  • OpenTelemetry
  • Prometheus
  • Jaeger
  • Sentry
03

30% less cloud spend

Led a practical AWS cost optimisation programme through utilisation reviews, resource cleanup, and instance standardisation. Lowered spend without trading away reliability.

  • FinOps
  • AWS
  • Governance
  • Reliability

02 / What I bring

Deep systems thinking. Practical delivery.

Platform

Cloud & infrastructure

AWS and GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, networking, GitOps, CI/CD, security, and cost governance.

Product

Full-stack & backend engineering

Python, Go, C#, JavaScript, and TypeScript; frontend applications, REST and gRPC APIs, messaging, payments, and integrations.

Operations

Reliability at scale

Observability, incident response, distributed tracing, performance, service networking, and production ownership.

03 / Open source

Selected public work.

All repositories

04 / Perspective

“I build across the whole system, from application code to the platform it runs on.”

Software and Platform Engineer with 10+ years of experience across backend and frontend development, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and technical leadership.

I design and operate scalable production platforms, lead architecture and engineering improvements, standardise observability and deployment practices, and improve reliability, delivery standards, and operational efficiency across complex environments.

My work is collaborative and hands-on: mentoring engineers and partnering across engineering, DevOps, SRE, and business teams to turn difficult systems into dependable products.
