My expertise spans a wide range of technologies, from core programming languages to emerging fields like Web3 and AI. I have a proven track record of managing multiple projects independently or collaboratively, consistently delivering high-quality solutions in fast-paced environments.

At TP ICAP, I developed high-performance backend services in Go and Python, enabling real-time data processing and trade execution. I also built responsive front-end interfaces using React, providing traders with real-time dashboards and analytics tools. My experience at the Department for Work and Pensions involved designing IAM workflows and building microservices, ensuring scalable identity services across multiple environments. I thrive on translating complex requirements into secure, high-performing software solutions.
