What I Do
Building secure, scalable backends and APIs with a focus on authentication, data pipelines, and cloud-native solutions.
Professional summary
As a Software Engineer and Lead Developer, I build secure, scalable backend systems and APIs, specialising in Python, Django, and cloud-native technologies. With a strong foundation in authentication systems, data pipelines, and production-grade services, I focus on delivering high-performing solutions that are reliable, secure, and scalable.
I hold a Master's in Renewable Energy & Sustainable Technology, and I apply this multidisciplinary approach to designing systems that optimise both business and environmental outcomes.
Currently, I serve as the Lead Developer at Traq Authenticator, a cutting-edge Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform. Here, I architect backend solutions using Django and PostgreSQL, developing secure REST APIs while embedding advanced security features such as password breach detection, rate limiting with Redis, and file validation pipelines. My role also involves driving CI/CD automation for seamless testing, deployment, and continuous integration.
I've worked across a broad range of industries, including energy, blockchain, and digital startups. From building data pipelines and energy performance systems to optimising blockchain research tools and streamlining operational workflows, I've honed a versatile skill set that adapts to modern, high-impact technology challenges.
I'm deeply passionate about building technology that empowers organisations, reduces operational friction, and contributes to environmental sustainability. You can explore my portfolio or read my blog to learn more about my work in software development, energy systems, and digital transformation.
