What I'm looking for

I'm open to senior software engineering, applied AI, cloud, platform and solution-focused engineering opportunities where I can own products end to end, turn ambiguous requirements into production systems, and deliver measurable customer value.

At Capriole Investments, I own Capriole Charts and Capriole AI end to end, spanning architecture, implementation, deployment, operations, security, payments, performance and incident response. I launched Capriole Charts from zero to revenue in two months and grew Capriole AI to 650+ registered users, 200+ monthly active users and 40+ paying customers in its first three months without paid acquisition.

I build with Python, TypeScript, Java, Next.js, React, FastAPI and AWS, delivering AI systems, APIs, data pipelines and cloud infrastructure. I improved chart load time by 77% and initial data payload by 99%, and productionised a multi-provider AI gateway with tool calling, telemetry, credential routing and S3 persistence.

Previously at PwC, I delivered Fortune 500 cloud migration and enterprise Java programs, while independently building an internal GenAI chatbot PoC using AWS Bedrock, LangChain, LangGraph and Pinecone. I'm looking to bring hands-on product ownership and applied AI delivery to senior software, cloud, platform or solution-focused engineering work.
