What I'm looking for

I seek impactful engineering roles where I can build scalable full-stack and AI-enabled systems, mentor teams, and collaborate with stakeholders in an innovative, growth-focused environment.

I am a proactive software engineer with extensive full-stack experience across healthcare, telecommunications, and fintech, delivering scalable applications using Java, Python, React, TypeScript, and SQL-backed systems. I have built clinical systems at NHS Tayside, developed AI chatbots and integrations, and led teams to align technical solutions with business and clinical goals.

I thrive on continuous learning and mentorship, having designed cloud-deployed products (AWS, Docker), machine learning pipelines, and third-party integrations that improved service delivery and user engagement. I focus on maintainable code, stakeholder collaboration, and driving measurable impact through pragmatic problem-solving.
