What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles across Europe and relocating to Spain, where I can build scalable backend and cloud systems, contribute to technical architecture, and mentor developers.

At Arm, I build and maintain microservices across Azure and AWS, using Java, Spring Boot, Python, API Gateway, Lambda, ECS Fargate, DynamoDB, Aurora MySQL, and OpenSearch.

I also act as Deputy Technical Lead when needed, guiding technical decisions, prioritising development work, defining architecture approaches, and mentoring junior developers. I manage cloud infrastructure with Terraform and Terragrunt and support deployments through Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure DevOps pipelines.

My earlier work includes building Java APIs and scientific software at NIAB, delivering Salesforce integrations at Arcus Global, and developing J2EE web applications at ViewNext.
