01—07 / Selected stops

Follow the line. Stop where you’re curious.

Systems

01 / Database Performance / Kraken

Room to grow.

Giving a busy electricity settlement platform some breathing room.

I replaced expensive full-table counts with lazy pagination, added indexes for common filters, and removed redundant indexes across two production estates.

02 / Data Integrity / Kraken

Safe passage.

Keeping invalid data out, and helping the right people in.

I added validation before downstream submission, repaired migration-related data issues, and implemented and tested multi-tenant single sign-on.

03 / F-Vision / Manchester City

A different angle.

Turning club data into an interactive, three-dimensional view of football.

I built F-Vision with Python and Three.js during a ten-week project using club-provided data, and demonstrated it at the Etihad Stadium.

04 / Immersive Learning / VirtualSpeech

Practice makes progress.

Building the services behind AI-powered roleplay in virtual reality.

I developed Python and Django REST APIs with VR developers, integrated document ingestion into roleplay scenarios, and worked on AWS infrastructure and SQL databases.

05 / Community Software / CoLab

Connected care.

Useful software for the people helping people.

I led a team of six, translated a charity’s requirements into a Django mental-health application, and delivered its cloud deployment and migration.

07 / Recipes / Off Duty

The kitchen.

A little patience. A lot of olive oil. Something good to share.

I keep a small recipe collection with ingredients and instructions together, ready to cook from or print.

Behind the line

Curious by nature.
Engineer by trade.

I’m a backend software engineer based in London, with an MSci in Computer Science from the University of Exeter. My work spans energy, AI-powered VR, community software and football.

The common thread: understanding a problem properly and building something useful. Away from the code, you’ll find football, motorsport, gaming and something in the oven.
