Relationship data moved onto Azure-based .NET services.
Presented and shaped relationship service architecture, analysed performance under load, tuned autoscaling and implemented DLQ management to improve observability and incident response.
Full-stack engineering, cloud platforms, and delivery
I build high-scale software for social good.
I am a senior full-stack software engineer with 10 years experience building products across the charity sector, fundraising platforms, music technology and product launch tools, with recent work across event-driven Azure services, frontend re-architecture, observability tooling and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
Moving ideas from uncertain to shipped.

Selected work
Cloud solutions across product and platform teams.
Frontend, backend, platform and tooling work across high-scale product teams, with an appetite for the next thing to learn.
System lens
Showing 13 pieces of selected work.
Edge-hosted creation and administration tools.
Led legacy campaign migration, built React page creation and administration dashboards, and architected business logic services for multi-charity campaigns at scale.
User anonymisation architecture for identity services.
Owned the technical design, wrote implementation stories, and led the handover with full context to support right-to-be-forgotten flows across identity services.
Automated engineering health dashboard.
Consolidated security vulnerability data, dead-letter queue viewing, queue throughput, Cosmos DB metrics, Kubernetes service metrics, frontend monitoring and pipeline status into one engineering health view.
Primary fundraising frontend re-architecture.
Next.js, Lambda@Edge and DynamoDB-backed caching reduced page load times to milliseconds, supported 90,000 requests per second, and guided edge-rendered page adoption across teams.
Serverless services for Strava and Fitbit events.
Consumed, enriched and stored fitness activity data for user-facing sharing and internal administration tools, with integration work coordinated across fundraising and digital services teams.
React apps for fitness event administration.
Interfaces for viewing, sharing and administering fitness event data helped the fundraising product surface activity clearly.
Serverless donation receipt generation.
TypeScript and Node.js service built on AWS Lambda and S3, with infrastructure provisioned through Terraform.
Remix features for an iOS music application.
React Native features enabled users to generate remixes by combining vocal and backing tracks.
Advert insertion services for extended mixes.
Used AWS Step Functions and ECS to run DSP tasks that calculated insertion points inside adaptive music workflows.
Frontend and backend features for advert creation.
Integrated React and Apollo applications with AppSync GraphQL APIs, DynamoDB datastores and S3-backed signed URL streaming.
Vue progressive web app for dealer location.
Mercedes-Benz Truck Dealer Locator with Google Maps API support for UK dealer outlet location and direction information.
Vue design system foundations for point-of-sale products.
Reusable components, tokens, elements, patterns and templates for interactive displays in Mercedes-Benz dealer outlets.
