System Architecture & Scale
Design distributed systems, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and event-driven architectures.
Principal / Lead Full-Stack Engineer
Principal Full-Stack Engineer designing and scaling AI-powered SaaS platforms, real-time systems, and production-grade web & mobile products.
I lead architecture, delivery, and system design across Next.js, Node, Java, AWS/Vercel, and iOS — with a focus on high-performance products, real-time infrastructure, and AI-native workflows that ship to production.
AI-Native Product Development
Integrate LLMs into real workflows (not demos): automation, agents, retrieval, copilots.
Real-Time Systems
Build low-latency systems (auctions, tracking, live updates, streaming).
End-to-End Ownership
From product ideation → architecture → delivery → scaling → optimisation.
Selected Work
Case studies, shipped products, and practical experiments.
A curated mix of work that shows how I approach architecture, delivery, and product outcomes.
