I build large-scale distributed backends that scale, self-heal, and stay online through change.
01Who I am

I'm a backend engineer working on large-scale distributed systems: event-driven services, self-healing active-active clusters, cross-region schedulers, and the migration machinery that lets platforms change shape underneath their users without going offline. Most of what I build is orchestration at volume, where a request is not one call but hundreds of moving executions that all have to land.
The work is mostly the unglamorous half of a backend: designing service boundaries and APIs, moving live state between two architectures without dropping any of it, rate limiting the callers that would otherwise take the platform down, and putting enough observability in place to know what actually happened at 3am. Around that sits the ordinary craft, tests worth trusting, pipelines that deploy without ceremony, and cloud infrastructure and CI provisioned as code rather than by hand.
I also spend time on the tooling that makes all of this testable: simulators that stand in for systems too expensive to hit for real, and, lately, tool-calling LLM agents layered over them so the tedious parts of the job take minutes instead of an afternoon.
The through-line is systems other people depend on. I'm drawn to the problems where correctness under failure matters more than throughput on a good day: in-flight state you can't drop, cutovers that can't take an outage, and jobs that have to fire across two data centres and still run exactly once.
02Where I've worked
Oct 2025 - Present
Breaking an Ansible automation orchestration platform serving 25,000 executions a day out of its monolith and into event-driven processors, without ever taking it down.
Feb 2024 - Oct 2025
Platform and backend work across a large regulated estate: cloud migration, CI/CD, and the database jobs underneath it.
May 2023 - Jul 2023
Data pipelines and computer vision for the accessories business.
Apr 2023 - Jun 2023
An LLM-backed browser plugin for email threat analysis.

03Things I've built
Side projects and tools I've built on my own time, the ones that taught me most of what I know.

A web app that turns whatever is left in your fridge into things you can actually cook.

A Discord bot running an RPG-style guild of 300+ members: profiles, inventory, reputation and moderation.


An interactive tool for watching graph traversal and pathfinding algorithms run, step by step.

A Flutter weather client with location-aware forecasts and a layout that adapts to the conditions.

A pixel-faithful rebuild of the WhatsApp interface in Flutter, as an exercise in layout and state.
Nothing in that category yet.
