About Me
I'm a Software Engineer passionate about building high-performance distributed systems and low-latency backend infrastructure. I specialise in real-time data pipelines, streaming architectures, and cloud platforms using Scala, Java, Python, Kafka, gRPC, AWS, and PostgreSQL. My experience spans live market data and sports trading-style systems, cloud automation, and large-scale data ingestion — solving complex engineering problems in regulated, high-throughput environments. I'm especially drawn to the intersection of data infrastructure and meaningful product impact. I share projects and insights on GitHub and my blog, where I write about cloud computing, AI, and backend architecture. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
