Tools & Platforms
Personal projects where delivery, usability, and technical discipline matter as much as the code itself.
01A real-time personal finance workflow built on programmable banking events. Each card transaction triggers an Azure Function, normalises the payload, and logs the result to Google Sheets within seconds.
02A cost-conscious blogging platform designed to run on Azure for roughly $1 per month. It combines Static Web Apps, Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, and CI/CD automation into a lightweight serverless architecture.
Secret Sauce
At Secret Sauce, my work is split between internal tooling and external client delivery. Externally, I've been responsible for designing and running a new Investec Product Enablement platform. Internally, I've focused on reusable pipeline templates and containerization patterns. This role reflects my step-up into senior responsibilities across infrastructure, security, and operational ownership.
Altron Security
I worked across C# development, digital signing solutions, and customer integrations for our SaaS document workflow and signing platform. I collaborated with both local and UK-based teams to deliver reliable integrations and strong client outcomes.
Investec
Over three years at Investec, I developed backend C# APIs, designed CI/CD pipelines, and provisioned Azure infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code. Working within a cross-functional team of in-house developers, contractors, and business analysts, I took on broad ownership across the full delivery lifecycle — from backlog refinement and code review to deployment and beyond.
