About

Senior engineering, end to end

I am a senior full-stack software engineer with 11+ years of experience delivering production platforms across investment, recruitment, and media. My core stack is React and TypeScript on the frontend, with Python or Node.js services, relational databases, and cloud infrastructure behind them.

I work best with end-to-end ownership: understanding the business problem, shaping the technical approach, shipping the solution, and keeping it reliable in production. I have contributed as a senior individual engineer, led delivery teams, mentored developers, and partnered directly with analysts, product managers, designers, and commercial stakeholders.

Now based in Auckland, I am completing a Master of Applied Finance at AUT in January 2027. It adds financial-domain depth to my engineering background, particularly for investment and fintech platforms. I am targeting full-time senior software engineer or hands-on technical lead roles from March 2027, subject to Post Study Work Visa approval.
