I work deliberately with AI across IDE, agent, and CLI workflows—Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, GitHub Copilot—and reusable skills to launch new products in weeks across web, mobile, desktop, and edge.
On existing systems, I deliver features faster and remove deep technical debt in days.
25 years: ClearBank to BBC to product.
Recent and personal work — serverless, cross-platform, and cloud-native delivery.
Latest case study
Content-first browse on an existing full-stack platform: ~5 days to production cutover, then ~4 days with about five to seven known UI tasks in parallel. Business rules under test so AI can contribute and fail fast; multiple deploys a day across backend, API, and Angular.
Six-week greenfield build: a news platform syndicating coercive-control survivor stories, focused on the UK and Europe — freedomtimes.news.
Astro + EmDash publishing on Cloudflare Workers, with an isolated Auth0-protected staging environment and content promotion to the public production server. AI agents assist research and composing article structures (plus MCP-integrated CMS workflows). PWA and Android via Ionic Capacitor; infrastructure is fully terraformed.

Full-stack serverless discovery platform for podcasts on coercive-control awareness — cultpodcasts.com.
C# Azure Functions aggregate feeds; Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects at the edge; Auth0-secured; recent AI-led UI update with business-rule tests and multi-system daily deploys. Case study →
Microservices platform for rapid feature delivery and deployment.
Multiple microservices with near-daily releases; championed code review culture across distributed team; C#/.NET Core with Azure Service Bus and SQL Server.
Cross-platform video streaming app for Windows, Android/Google TV, iOS, macOS, Linux.
Live stream aggregation; health checks and automatic failover; background polling and reactive updates; GitHub Actions CI and packaging across platforms; OAuth device + browser flows.
Enterprise printer management application. Introduced cloud-native architecture to replace legacy on-premises design.
Modernized WPF desktop application with Azure Service Bus for asynchronous workflows; implemented multi-tenant licensing for device and user management; enhanced deployment pipeline with Azure DevOps; enabled Microsoft Store distribution for enterprise deployment.
Core delivery work at ClearBank in a high-velocity environment where code shipped hourly.
Led a team; coordinated delivery with hourly releases; got the first microservice refactor safely into UAT; and helped launch the first production version of ClearBank.

End-to-end ownership: architecture, frontend, backend, ops, and ship.
TypeScript, Angular, Astro, EmDash — SSR, PWA, Bubblewrap packaging to Android. Strong Core Web Vitals by default.
.NET MAUI, Avalonia, and Ionic Capacitor: one codebase for Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux.
Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects, Azure Functions, Turso — low-latency, globally distributed. Terraform-provisioned for repeatable, low-cost infrastructure.
.NET/C# (25+ yrs), Azure Service Bus, CosmosDB, Turso, SQL Server, microservices, Redis. OAuth / Auth0 identity across all platforms.
I work with AI deliberately across IDE, agent, and CLI surfaces—Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, GitHub Copilot—plus reusable skills and MCP-connected agent workflows. That mix supports fast greenfield builds and high-quality delivery on established systems.
GitHub Actions multi-platform pipelines, Azure DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation.
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 across IDEs, agent windows, and CLIs—Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, GitHub Copilot—guided with clear engineering intent and reusable skills carried across projects. That helps me build production-ready products in weeks and improve existing systems, including targeted technical-debt removal 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.
