Senior technologist specialising in full-stack, AI/ML systems, and cloud architecture.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior technologist with 6+ years building scalable enterprise solutions, leading technical teams, and running Happysoft Consultancy since 2021. I specialise in full-stack development, AI/ML systems, cloud architecture and secure, production-ready deployments.
I have led flagship projects for organisations including the United Nations Development Programme and the UK Cabinet Office, architecting high-performance APIs, RAG systems, multi-provider LLM integrations, and CI/CD pipelines across Azure, AWS and GCP.
I prioritise robust security, observable systems, and developer workflows — implementing role-based access control, automated testing, infrastructure-as-code, and rigorous code review to deliver reliable, scalable products.
