I began my career as a Java Backend Engineer during my placement year, working on an enterprise market data ingestion platform for a major financial institution. I then completed my BSc in Computer Science, graduating with First Class Honours. My final-year project involved building an offline-capable, web-based Point of Sale system using AWS.
After graduating, I joined HighRoads as a Full Stack Engineer in a predominantly .NET team, working with React, .NET Framework, .NET Core, and Java. I contributed to both backend and UI enhancements while deepening my AWS expertise. This included leading the migration of Windows servers from manually managed “pets” to a scalable, fault-tolerant AMI-based solution using EC2 Image Builder, replacing Jenkins and Salt-based configurations.
I actively explore new AWS services to improve platform architecture, such as using AWS Lambda to reduce manual processes and enhance customer experience. Over time, I have taken on greater responsibility in solution design and architecture.
In April 2023, I was promoted to Senior Software Engineer, contributing to the re-architecture and migration of legacy .NET Framework monoliths into containerized .NET 7 microservices to improve maintainability, readability, and testability.
In May 2023, I achieved the AWS Certified Developer - Associate certification, further strengthening my ability to design and build effective solutions on AWS.
