I'm a Software Engineer with an MSc in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Leeds, currently building enterprise-grade financial software across Python, Java.
I specialise in backend engineering, REST APIs, microservices, databases, and performance optimisation. I enjoy solving problems where scalability and performance matter — recent work includes reducing report generation time from 8s to 3s and improving API response times from 180ms to 60ms through PostgreSQL optimisation and Redis caching.
Recent highlights:
- 🏦 Built backend services for real-time financial reporting & analytics
- ⚡ Cut PostgreSQL report latency 8s→3s; API response times 180ms→60ms via Redis caching
- 🏥 Shipped REST APIs for NHS-adjacent healthcare platforms serving 50,000+ patients
- 🎓 Modernised a Learning Management System used by 8,000+ employees
- 🤖 Contributed to a Copilot-style assistant using Azure OpenAI for natural language queries
- 🧠 MSc dissertation: real-time facial emotion detection (CNN, 81% accuracy) on FERPlus
Always up for a conversation about backend architecture, low-latency systems, or where fintech and engineering meet.
