WHAT I OFFER
As a Software Engineer, I specialize in developing scalable and high-performance applications across web and cloud platforms. My expertise spans both frontend and backend technologies, including modern frameworks, databases, and cloud services, to deliver seamless and reliable solutions. Whether you need to build a new application, scale existing systems, or optimize performance, I can help turn your ideas into impactful results.
Frontend Development
I build fast, accessible UIs with React and Next.js — server-side rendering, responsive layouts, and performance budgets under 2s FCP. Recent work includes a cybersecurity platform dashboard handling 1,000+ concurrent users and a job-tracking app with real-time analytics charts.
Backend Development
I design server-side systems with Node.js, Express, FastAPI, and GraphQL built to scale. I've reduced API latency by 35% through architecture refactoring, deployed services handling 20,000+ daily users, and maintained 99.9% uptime on AWS with CloudWatch monitoring.
API Development & Integration
I build typed RESTful and GraphQL APIs with full authentication, rate limiting, and documentation. I've designed 20+ endpoint systems for multi-tenant SaaS platforms and integrated third-party services including OpenAI, Stripe, Nodemailer, and Google Analytics.
Cloud Integration & Data Transfer
I deploy and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP — Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, and automated pipelines. I've cut infrastructure costs by 21% while improving auto-scalability and reducing release cycles from weekly to daily via CI/CD.
DevOps & Deployment
I containerise applications with Docker, orchestrate with Kubernetes, and automate delivery with GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline. I've maintained 99.9% uptime across production systems while compressing release cycles and implementing zero-downtime deployment strategies.
SEO & AI Visibility
I implement technical SEO, structured data (JSON-LD), Core Web Vitals optimisation, and generative engine optimisation (GEO) for discoverability in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. I built and maintain this portfolio to best-practice SEO and AI-visibility standards.
MY LATEST WORK
Welcome to my portfolio! Here you'll find projects that highlight my skills in full-stack software development. From creating intuitive user interfaces to building reliable backend systems, I develop scalable and high-performance applications. I also work with cloud platforms and databases to manage deployment, integration, and performance optimization. Explore my work to see how I turn ideas into impactful solutions.
