2025 - PresentJunior Software Engineer
Feb 2025 - Present- Built SwiftFusion, a trade finance application implementing the SWIFT ISO 20022 messaging standard on Spring Boot and Angular 19 - now running in the NRBC Bank and Southeast Bank environments.
- Moved inter-service messaging onto Apache Kafka for event-driven flows and gRPC for synchronous service-to-service calls, containerised with Docker so an environment is reproducible rather than remembered.
- Contributed to a distributed transaction orchestrator written in Rust on Actix Web, implementing Two-Phase Commit, choreographed Saga, and hybrid coordination models for bank-grade transactional workflows.
- Instrumented services with Prometheus, Grafana and Elasticsearch - metrics, structured logging, dashboards and alerting that fires before a customer notices rather than after.
- Maintain and extend the Notification & Alert System on .NET Core with background workers, owning its deployments, reliability work and feature additions.

2023 - 2025Software Engineer & Team Lead
Jul 2024 - Jan 2025- Led frontend and backend teams building scalable systems across concurrent client products, owning architecture decisions end to end.
- Set up CI/CD pipelines so releases stopped being events and became routine.
- Ran deployments on DigitalOcean and GoDaddy, including DNS, TLS and reverse-proxy configuration behind Nginx.
- Managed and mentored junior developers through code review - the measure is fewer repeated mistakes, not faster merges.
- Worked directly with UX and UI designers so API shapes and interface needs stopped drifting apart mid-build.
