About
I build practical software systems around backend workflows, production reliability, cloud deployment, and AI-assisted automation.
My recent work includes production recovery and marketplace platform work at Ask Jay Services, where I helped restore service functionality after a security incident, improved load times from roughly 25 seconds to under 3 seconds, and built Docker + GitHub Actions deployment workflows.
At ACS, I worked on a MERN platform serving 10,000+ users, improving average page load time by 30% and reviewing 15+ authentication issues using OWASP guidance.
I also build prototypes and open-source tools around responsible AI workflows, code review automation, and small-business operations. I label these clearly as MVPs, prototypes, or experiments when they are not production systems.
I approach engineering with a focus on learning through building and debugging. I'm comfortable owning small systems end-to-end and prefer reliability and clarity over cleverness. I believe in shipping early, iterating often, and always considering the production impact of my decisions. I'm particularly interested in AI as an assistive tool that enhances human judgment rather than replacing it.
Work history
The story is not just titles. It is recovery, performance, access boundaries, and delivery under constraints.
• Supported production recovery after a security incident, restoring service functionality while keeping public details NDA-safe.
• Improved load times from roughly 25s to under 3s through frontend, backend, and database-path optimisation.
• Built marketplace and course-management platform features across frontend and backend workflows.
• Created Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows to make deployments more repeatable.
• Built and deployed 700+ SEO-oriented landing pages for regional service coverage.
• Improved average page load time by 30% for a MERN + TypeScript platform serving 10,000+ users through React optimisation and code splitting.
• Reviewed and resolved 15+ authentication issues using OWASP guidance, strengthening application security posture.
• Collaborated in Agile development sprints with senior engineers, QA, and stakeholders to deliver scoped features.

Open to junior–mid roles in software engineering, full-stack development, platform/DevOps, and applied AI. I'm looking for learning-heavy environments where I can grow and contribute to real systems.
