About Me

I'm a full-stack software engineer based in Auckland, New Zealand, with over 18 years of experience building enterprise applications. Currently working at FNZ, I develop financial services platforms for global institutions.

My expertise spans the full development lifecycle - from requirements analysis and architecture design to implementation, testing, and deployment. I've led teams, mentored junior developers, and consistently delivered high-quality solutions.

I specialize in Python/Flask and .NET Core for backend development, with strong frontend skills in React/Redux. Cloud-native development on AWS and Azure is part of my daily routine.
