What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a forward-thinking company that values innovation and collaboration.

With over a decade of experience in software engineering, I have honed my skills in developing robust, scalable platforms across various industries. My journey began with a focus on high-volume data processing and has evolved into a specialization in decentralized systems and blockchain technology. At iov42, I contribute to a cutting-edge platform that supports diverse assets, leveraging my expertise in functional programming and cloud technologies.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects from conception to deployment, ensuring high standards of architecture and security. My tenure at British Gas Connected Homes saw the launch of multiple boiler devices, where I played a pivotal role in migrating data processing pipelines and implementing real-time alerting systems. I am passionate about using technology to solve complex problems and drive innovation.
