What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a challenging role in a reputable organization where I can apply my software development skills, support organizational growth, and continue learning new and emerging IT trends.

I've built and optimized high-throughput, real-time applications at Ascendion using microservices, event-driven architecture, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform. I also mentor junior developers, establish coding standards, and improve DevOps automation and monitoring.

Previously, I delivered React.js web platforms and React Native mobile applications for People Work Smart Pty Ltd, building scalable Node.js, Express.js, and NestJS APIs with secure authentication and data architectures. At Manulife and Skycable, I developed full-stack applications, automated cloud deployments, supported production systems, and built internal monitoring, reporting, and ticket-management tools.
