SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Seven years building scalable backends in Python, PHP, and Node. I've cut deploy times from an hour to five minutes and API responses from 10 seconds to 500ms across travel, healthcare, and mobile products.
Backend engineer who ships production systems, from APIs through to CI/CD.
I've spent seven years on the unglamorous part of the stack: APIs, data models, tests, and getting code out the door without drama.
Senior Software Engineer based in Preston, UK. I specialise in Python, PHP, and Node.js backends, with full-stack delivery in React, Next.js, and React Native. I've led teams across Singapore, the US, and the UK — from microservices and TDD to hiring and code reviews.
Real problems solved — with measurable outcomes.

Notes on backend work, tooling, and things I've shipped.
Use Drupal 10/11 as a headless CMS with JSON:API, then fetch content in React. Covers CORS, auth, images, and real entity queries—not hardcoded arrays.
React Hooks basics—useState, useEffect, useMemo, useCallback, and a custom hook—with corrected examples from day-to-day component work.
Detect candlestick patterns in Python with TA-Lib: install steps, OHLC data from yfinance, pattern interpretation, and limitations for real trading use.
Production skills across backend engineering, full-stack delivery, DevOps, and AI integration.
Solid academic foundation in computer science and software engineering.
