I build backend systems that hold up in production. Over the last three years I've worked on platforms serving millions of users - a financial ledger service at a B2B commerce company that handled all company transactions, a recommendation cache at a telecom platform that cut latency by 30%, and a notification pipeline that ran on 80M+ subscriber infrastructure. These weren't side projects. They were mission-critical systems with real consequences if they broke. My main tools are Golang and Node.js on the backend, with React and Next.js on the frontend when needed. I'm comfortable across the full stack - APIs, microservices, databases, and integrations. I've worked with Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, and Kubernetes in real production environments, not just tutorials. I don't just write code to close tickets. I look at the actual problem first. If there's a better way to build something, I'll tell you before I start, not after you've paid for the wrong solution. I'm currently based in Melbourne, Australia, and I work with clients across different time zones. I'm available for both short-term builds and longer ongoing work. If you need something built properly and on time, let's talk.

Here are some of the case studies of the clients I have helped with: 1. MONETRACK - Deploying a client stack in minutes on AWS instead of weeks Industry: Finance Problem: An unreliable process that caused constant frustration and delays. Process: Each deployment would take days to weeks to be set up, requiring between 5-6 people. Results: They now deploy a client stack in minutes instead of weeks using AWS EKS and a customised CI/CD process. In addition, I have: · Improved deployment time from weeks to minutes. · 80% reduction in costs per deployment. · Secure alignment with their client's compliance requirements. 2. Tourism Media - Great flexibility, deploying applications faster and secure on AWS Industry: Media Problem: With no CI/CD integration across all deploys, the job to integrate each stack was inconsistent and pruned to errors. Process: Deployment was not consistent across the board; they were also not resource-friendly Result: They can now push out a consistent deployment process across the company while being quickly adopted by their teams. In addition, I also have: · Improved deployment time by 60% · 70% costs reduction in EC2 instances · Greater scalability and reliability than their Legacy infrastructure. 3. Value-Ad - Scale 10X more on AWS with great stability and without the extra cost. Industry: Finance Problem: An infrastructure that could not scale securely and effectively was harming their client base. Solution: Deploy a new AWS EKS (Kubernetes) environment that is scalable, highly available, secure (PCI-DSS compliant) and cost optimised using AWS Well Architect Framework best practices. Result: They can now handle 10X more requests with excellent stability and without extra cost than their legacy infrastructure. In addition, I have added: · Greater scalability and reliability · Deployments are simplified and done in minutes instead of hours · 32% cheaper than its previous infrastructure Now a bit of myself: I'm a passionate professional with 25 years of experience in enabling business strategies through the practical application of technology architecture principles, practices, and tools.

I build production AI agent systems and workflow automation — using n8n, Make, LangChain, and multi-agent orchestration frameworks (MCP, LangGraph). I've deployed RAG pipelines, voice AI integrations (Vapi), and API-connected automation that replace manual business processes at scale. I help companies build cloud infrastructure and AI systems that actually work in production. Background: 15 years in platform engineering, including 4+ years as Director of Engineering at Nike where I architected infrastructure handling millions of requests. More recently: led platform engineering at Canva, built custom transformers for defense applications (early illness detection), and I'm currently building an AI-powered healthcare platform. What I do: → Cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform) → AI/ML implementation — LLMs, custom models, MLOps pipelines → Platform engineering — CI/CD, developer experience, self-service tooling → Technical leadership — team building, architecture decisions, due diligence Recent work: - Built multi-model AI pipeline (GPT-4V, Claude, DeepSeek) for healthcare document processing - Developed custom transformer architecture for warfighter early illness detection - Designed CI/CD systems at Nike still used by hundreds of engineers globally I work async, communicate clearly, and deliver documentation you can actually use.
