About me

With a strong foundation in Computer Science and over three years of dedicated experience in software engineering, I specialize in building and scaling robust backend systems. My expertise is centered around the Ruby on Rails framework, complemented by a strong command of relational databases and the broader technologies within its ecosystem.

I have a proven track record of delivering high-impact solutions for large-scale projects, including:

• Spearheading the successful launch of the SXSW London e-commerce platform:
using the Spree framework. My work directly enabled the sale of event passes, generating over £4 million in revenue and establishing a critical new income stream.

• Engineering key integrations for marketing campaigns at Syonet:
where I developed systems for WhatsApp, SMS, and email delivery. This enhanced the company's outreach capabilities to tens of thousands of clients.

I am committed to delivering high-quality, well-documented code that aligns with business objectives and ensures long-term maintainability. I believe in fostering strong, collaborative relationships within my team and am passionate about mentoring junior developers through practices like pair programming to achieve outstanding results together.

Education:

• Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
• Planning to pursue a Master's degree upon completion

As a forward-thinking software engineer, I am driven to solve complex challenges, optimize systems, and contribute to business growth by building reliable and scalable technology.
