At Bitville Gaming Ltd, I build and maintain backend services and REST APIs for a real-time transaction platform handling 3 to 10 million transactions a day, with 99.9% uptime targets. I delivered most of its 40 game provider integrations through the seamless wallet API.

I also built a PHP testing tool for balance, debit, credit, cancel and refund flows, including failure cases; it cut manual testing by about 85%. I tune PostgreSQL queries and schemas for high-volume transaction data and contribute to Docker-based GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

As a Junior PHP Developer at Bitville Gaming Ltd, I owned a standalone lottery and casino platform for a client end to end, covering its React frontend, PHP backend, Node.js API layer and CMS. I integrated real-money lotteries across the US, Canada, Brazil, Europe and Australia.

At the University of Mauritius, I built and fine-tuned neural machine translation models in Python with TensorFlow and OpenNMT, and developed an API to serve them. My earlier work includes PrestaShop features, Drupal 8 content and three Arduino and C/C++ IoT prototypes at Storm-Edge.
