Resume

Internal promotion to establish the software engineering team from scratch, owning cloud architecture and delivering projects end to end - requirements, design and implementation - across fifteen production systems. Reports to the CEO.

• Built an event-driven integration platform of cloud-native microservices on Azure Service Bus, Functions and Event Grid, processing millions of messages with near real-time sync.
• Designed a repairs workflow system modelling repair processes as a dynamic graph of steps, guiding technicians through variable procedures - replacing an unstructured ticketing process and enforcing consistent data entry and process compliance.
• Built a customer-facing portal and migrated the legacy storefront to BigCommerce with per-customer catalogues, auth integration, and client-specific business logic. Directly contributed to winning multiple major banking and government contracts worth a combined $30m+.
• Rebuilt the customer portal on a Next.js / React frontend (shadcn/ui, Zustand) with a .NET API backend, enabling role-based access control with fine-grained permissions and a complex reactive UI the previous platform could not support.
• Built integrations with 15+ APIs across ticketing, eCommerce, distributors and Microsoft services.
• Built an internal-tools framework for .NET Blazor that generates forms and pages from C# class definitions, cutting new internal-tool development from weeks to days.
• Built a data warehouse on Microsoft Fabric - a medallion-architecture lakehouse (Spark / Python) surfaced through Power BI - giving the business actionable insights.
• Automated security scanning across projects by deploying DefectDojo alongside open-source scanning tools, centralising vulnerability management.
• Standardised CI/CD by building a reusable, composable GitHub Action for Azure Functions and Bicep deployments - automated testing, multi-environment deployment, and rollback.
• Lead the team's delivery end to end - break designs into epics and user stories, plan and assign work, deliver in short iterations, and own architecture and coding standards through review.
• Mentor the team through code reviews, pairing and shared engineering standards, growing capability and the team's delivery capacity.

Internal promotion. Supported customers and internal staff while introducing PowerShell automation to improve team operations.

• Introduced PowerShell automation for routine support and provisioning tasks, cutting manual effort and improving consistency across the team.

• Built a Ruby web application to automate ordering of replacement parts from a site with no API, saving 30 minutes per day and reducing errors.
