Description

Lead Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience architecting scalable, high-performance digital platforms for global enterprises. I specialize in building mission-critical payment systems (FPS, BACS, SWIFT, CHAPS, SEPA), modernizing legacy monoliths into cloud-native microservices, and delivering secure, compliant API platforms that operate at enterprise scale.

I bring deep expertise across Java, Spring, Microservices, Event-Driven Architecture, Azure & AWS cloud, API gateway engineering, CI/CD automation, DevOps, React, and Open Banking. My work consistently reduces operational overhead, accelerates delivery cycles, and strengthens platform resilience for high-volume financial systems.

Beyond strong technical delivery, I am known for leading teams, mentoring engineers, driving architectural decisions, and partnering with business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into robust, scalable solutions. Whether modernizing large-scale systems, designing cloud migration strategies, or enabling seamless digital transformation, I deliver outcomes that improve performance, reduce risk, and enable faster innovation.

If you need an engineering leader who can own complex technical problems, improve system performance, and deliver secure, enterprise-grade solutions — I can help you achieve it.
