I build secure, cloud-native backend platforms and enterprise integrations for regulated industries.

Message

I've delivered secure SaaS platforms, distributed backend services, and enterprise integrations across healthcare, financial services, and cloud-based products for more than 13 years.

At Anchorstacktech, I architected an AWS-based Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL platform supporting 12 microservices and more than 2 million API requests daily. I led its Kubernetes migration, cutting deployment time from 45 minutes to 8 minutes and increasing releases to 15 per month.

I strengthened reliability through CloudWatch, Grafana, structured logging, CI/CD automation, PostgreSQL optimisation, and Redis caching. These changes reduced recovery time from 90 to 25 minutes, cut production incidents by 40%, and improved high-traffic API response times from 420ms to 140ms.

Previously at Clanwilliam and Waystone, I built healthcare and financial-services applications, including REST, HL7/FHIR, reporting, and compliance workflows. I also mentor engineers, contribute to architecture and design reviews, and build GDPR-aligned systems with security controls such as OAuth 2.0, JWT, IAM, encryption, and audit trails.
