- Authored technical documentation for complex system architectures
- Contributed to open-source distributed ledger projects
Senior Systems Engineer
- Led migration of monolithic system to microservices architecture
- Built high-throughput data pipeline processing 1M+ events per second
- Designed and implemented real-time monitoring and alerting platform
Senior Backend & Systems Engineer
Designs Rust and Python distributed services around PostgreSQL, cryptographic protocols, and auditable storage. Recent work includes a protocol workspace for verifiable inter-organisation healthcare data exchange with deterministic binary formats, explicit trust boundaries, replay protection, and crash recovery.
- Ed25519 signatures and BLAKE3 hashing
- Append-only audit trails with fail-closed authorization
- PostgreSQL query optimization and schema migrations
- Healthcare interoperability using ICD-10-SE and KVÅ
Senior Systems & Software Engineer
Develops crash-resilient Rust and Python services around asynchronous event streams, binary protocols, WAL-backed storage, and POSIX concurrency primitives. Combines API security engineering with property-based testing, constant-time cryptography, and distributed resilience patterns.
- BOLA and IDOR authorization boundary audits
- PostgreSQL WAL and SQLite FTS5 systems
- Circuit breakers and concurrency bulkheads
