10 years in building cloud-based systems. Fluent with AWS serverless (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, EventBridge, API Gateway) and taking things to production with attention to detail. Comfortable translating complex business requirements into technical solutions, with self-motivation and good communication skills and owning systems that work
Building an NDIS management platform from scratch, working directly with the founders. I own the technical side: data model, service boundaries, infrastructure and deployment.
Turned the founders' NDIS requirements (rostering, shift allocation, timesheets, award compliance) into a domain model and a set of event-driven serverless services on AWS
Set up the Terraform infrastructure repo with one module per resource type (Lambda, ECS, Batch, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, API Gateway, S3, Secrets Manager, IAM, DynamoDB, RDS, Cognito, networking). Dev, staging and production run off the same code with different variables, each deployed through its own GitHub Actions workflow
Designed multi-tenant storage with a separate schema per organisation on Aurora Serverless v2, so one provider's client data is isolated from another's, alongside a DynamoDB single-table design
Write the API contract first as an OpenAPI spec, then implement it on API Gateway and Lambda, so frontend and backend agree on the shape of the data before any code is written
Use Claude Code or Cursor day to day for code generation, design docs and documentation
Owned backend architecture and delivery for a cloud-native healthcare platform supporting concussion assessments and preventative health checks across multiple clinics in Australia. Led the design of serverless APIs, event-driven workflows, and secure medical device integrations, ensuring high reliability and compliance in a clinical environment.
Built the backend platform from the ground up for a scale-up healthcare product, delivering a serverless AWS architecture supporting multi-clinic, multi-provider workflows and designed to scale to high volumes of patient and booking events
Integrated NeuroFlex VR medical devices to automate ingestion of diagnostic data and generation of clinician-ready PDF reports, establishing the core automated clinical assessment workflow
Designed and validated an event-driven architecture (EventBridge, SQS, SNS), load-tested to handle thousands of asynchronous events per day with strong service decoupling
Established CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code early, enabling multiple safe production deployments per week and reducing operational risk as the platform prepared for broader rollout
Led complex third-party integrations for a regulated FinTech platform, owning solution design from architecture through production delivery. Acted as the technical point of contact for external partners and internal stakeholders, with responsibility for reliability, scalability, and regulatory alignment.
Delivered and operated production integrations with regulated FinTech partners including Green Dot, Apex Clearing (Apex Ascend), and Apex Bakkt, supporting brokerage, payments, and custody workflows for 50k+ users
Designed secure and auditable integration architectures for sensitive financial and brokerage data, meeting partner compliance requirements for traceability, reconciliation, and incident reporting
Built and maintained AWS-based production services using Lambda, DynamoDB, ECS, EventBridge, SNS, and SQL databases, processing tens of thousands of account, transaction, and lifecycle events per day
Served as the primary technical point of contact for external partners, leading partner onboarding, production incident coordination, troubleshooting, and post-incident root cause analysis
Progressed from Technical Lead to Associate Technical Architect, combining hands-on backend engineering with architectural ownership across regulated FinTech systems. Owned critical services end-to-end, mentored engineers, and partnered with product and support teams to improve platform reliability, observability, and delivery velocity.
Owned backend services supporting regulated banking, brokerage, and cryptocurrency products used by a 30k+ users
Led integrations enabling checking accounts, debit cards, stock gifting, and crypto investments through Synapse and Apex Crypto Clearing
Improved incident response times to just 5 minutes by introducing centralised monitoring and alerting using CloudWatch, DataDog, and PagerDuty
Mentored engineers and established ownership models as the platform and team scaled
Contributed to a large-scale enterprise healthcare platform used across U.S. hospitals, working within an Agile delivery model and collaborating across engineering, product, and QA teams.
Developed backend APIs using .NET Web API and frontend features using Angular for an enterprise healthcare platform
Worked on Vatica Health, supporting management of health IDs and medical records in a regulated healthcare environment
Collaborated within a distributed, cross-functional Agile team to deliver production features iteratively
Gained early exposure to enterprise software standards, healthcare data workflows, and production-grade systems
Built a strong foundation in backend and desktop application development, contributing to multiple in-house and B2B products while gaining early exposure to AWS and production software practices.
Built applications using .NET Framework, WPF, WCF, and Entity Framework across multiple internal and customer-facing products
Contributed to in-house platforms including inventory management, version control, profiling, and internal tooling
Helped evolve an internal product into a B2B offering (Fromine) for HR and employee services
Gained early hands-on experience with AWS and production-grade deployment practices
