Web developer turned full stack software engineer/SRE. Guilty of starting too many side projects destined never to see the light of day and then adding Kubernetes to try and manage them all efficiently.
Currently interested in new opportunities - reach me on LinkedIn.
A high level overview of some of the things I've worked on with a more details on personal projects.
Left my previous engineering role at YNAP to execute on a startup idea to build a website building platform, and worked as a digital nomad whilst traveling in SE Asia. Realised whilst working on it that building something similar to Wix/Shopify/Webflow using a similar concept to AirBnb's Server driven design was a little too ambitious for a solo dev project, and at around the same time I heard about an interesting opportunity in the crypto space:
This project has its own page as not to take up too much of the page. Click here for details.
After moving on from the liquidator but in a similar ruthlessly competitive arena, I decided to turn my skills at market making (as I was not in the speculation game - however with hindsight that would have been the significantly easier play given the prices you can see in the relevant screenshots).
Currently working on a contract basis at Agora, primarily working on DevOps and tooling.
