About

Building resilient systems
that perform under pressure.

I'm a software engineer with 4+ years of experience maintaining and improving production systems across diverse technology environments. My work spans backend API development, middleware integration, and managing real-time, batch, and integration workloads.

I'm skilled at debugging, database management, performance optimisation, CI/CD and Linux deployments — with a track record of restoring system resilience, improving performance, and driving measurable return on investment.

Proficient in Python, JavaScript, SQL/MySQL, and scripting. Fully authorised to work in Australia, based in Perth, and immediately available.
