Senior engineer behind Madian.

I take on backend platforms for early SaaS products and membership or community portals for media and non-profit clients. Most engagements are solo or small team, with delivery windows that need a senior engineer who can move from architecture into code without ceremony. The infrastructure mix runs from full serverless to long-running servers, picked to match what each workload actually needs.

• Node.js
• Deno
• Express
• Next.js
• Vite
• PostgreSQL
• Redis
• AWS

A short engagement with a health-tech engineering team focused on a document delivery service that was running into throughput limits. The work was about tightening the PDF generation path so the team could move past a production bottleneck.

• Node.js
• Next.js

My team owned a serverless ETL platform that moved data between operational systems and the products that lived downstream. I built and maintained the pipelines that did most of the heavy lifting, designed the cloud architecture in infrastructure as code, and over time worked the platform towards better processing efficiency and lower infra cost. I also spent a fair amount of time helping newer engineers find their footing on the team.

I led backend work on the travel platform during a stretch where we were pulling apart a long-standing monolith into smaller, more focused services. Most of the new services were built in Python and Node.js. I covered for the tech lead during their absence, kept the team unblocked, and onboarded new engineers as they joined. A good chunk of the year went into stabilising a high-traffic Express service and reworking the booking retry flow so conversions held up under load.

• Python
• Node.js
• MongoDB
• PostgreSQL
• Cassandra
• Redis
• Kafka

I worked across data, services, and search for the booking platform. The data pipelines automated delivery from operational stores into the analytics warehouse. The microservices powered things like ML training and personalisation features. On the booking side, I hardened the flows with durable queueing so messages stayed reliable, and I made customer-facing search behave more sensibly when names came in with regional spelling variation.

A short internship where I designed, built, and shipped a carpooling web app on Python and Django end to end. I owned the project on my own, and it was a useful first pass at running a real deployment.
