What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable, high-performance distributed platforms that improve operational workflows and user experiences, particularly across APIs, microservices, cloud infrastructure, and communication technologies.

At Zendesk, I build and maintain the Contact Center backend platform: Go microservices powering voice AI, video, and messaging across regions and business domains.

I integrate GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, MongoDB Atlas, OpenSearch, AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform to deliver secure, observable communication systems, including SOC2-aligned account-data deletion and near-real-time event pipelines.

Previously at ANZ, I built cloud-native Go services for digital banking, spanning document lifecycle, payments, notifications, personalisation, and identity. I improved latency and throughput through profiling, connection tuning, and GCP caching while designing event-driven workflows and secure APIs.

Across Catalyst IT, Fontis, AWD Digital, MultiViews, and SportsPass, I've delivered web applications, e-commerce integrations, APIs, frontend components, cloud infrastructure, and production support. I enjoy building high-performance platforms that improve operational workflows and user experiences.
