Cloud-Native
Full-Stack Developer.

I guide GitHub Copilot deliberately and build reusable skills that can be used again to launch brand-new products in weeks across web, mobile, desktop, and edge.
On existing systems, I deliver features faster and remove deep technical debt in days.

About

Built to Last

Senior Software Engineer with over 25 years of experience delivering scalable web, cloud, and cross-platform solutions. I specialise in cloud-native and serverless architectures and full-stack delivery with .NET, Angular, and MAUI.

I use AI-assisted development with GitHub Copilot by actively guiding it and creating reusable skills that can be utilised later across projects. This helps me build new production-ready products in weeks and improve existing systems. That includes targeted technical-debt removal work in days with system-wide impact, such as splitting Cosmos DB into separate containers, using more specific partition keys, and removing inline relationships to reduce cost, improve performance, and strengthen engineering practices.

I'm concentrating fully on engineering and available for contract roles in London or remote.
