I build AI-powered, cloud-native platforms that simplify complex business processes and software delivery.
What I'm looking for
I'm building AI-powered business-process automation at Centrica using Amazon Lex, Amazon Connect, Amazon Bedrock, LLMs, multi-agent coordination, Python, and Amazon Nova Sonic voice AI. Previously, I built a digital tax platform at ASCORIA with Next.js, Spring Boot, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and OAuth.
I've delivered cloud platforms and high-scale software for Build Circle, Equal Experts, Sky, HM Revenue & Customs, HM Passport Office, Wayfair, and Volkswagen. I focus on clean, well-tested code through TDD, pair programming, agile delivery, and pragmatic architecture—from Java and Spring Boot microservices to React, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and AI infrastructure.
