Full Stack Developer & Acting Technical Lead

Agile Software Systems

Birmingham / Remote, UK

Stepped up from contributor to full technical owner. Architecting and leading the complete delivery lifecycle of a production platform serving 1,000+ users daily — owning Azure infrastructure, deployment pipelines, sprint planning, on-site client discovery, and direct stakeholder communication.

Jamstack-inspired architecture — prerendering, CDN delivery and delta-sync pipeline eliminating cold API calls across 1,000+ product pages

Deployment downtime cut 90% — 10 minutes to under 60 seconds via Azure Storage + FrontDoor CDN rearchitecture

Recovered 1,000+ unindexed Angular SPA product pages from Google — self-directed prerendering + hydration without SSR infrastructure

End-to-end 2D DXF cutting plan renderer — DXF → ASP.NET → Service Bus → Azure Functions → CosmosDB → Canvas/SVG

List architecture redesign serving 15k+ quotes — load time from 15 seconds to under 0.5 seconds

Migrated legacy Python API to ASP.NET 9 — response time 10s → 2s, eliminating expensive Redis caching layer

MongoDB race condition fix — atomic sequence generator eliminating duplicate order IDs; live migration of 30,000+ documents

MSc Advanced Computer Science · Grade 2:1

Swansea University

Swansea, UK

Deepened the theoretical foundation with rigorous academic CS — from systems architecture to low-level programming. The kind of grounding that separates engineers who understand their tools from those who only use them.

Custom Linux OS built from scratch in C++ and Bash, with blockchain-based transaction recording for filesystem integrity

System daemons for process scheduling, file management and resource allocation — modifying low-level Linux C packages

Critical SEO Recovery — Angular SPA

Diagnosed a live Angular SPA where all 1,000+ product pages were invisible to Google. Self-directed the implementation of Angular prerendering and hydration, identifying 4MB page bloat as the root cause of Googlebot crawl failure. Restored full site crawlability without expensive SSR infrastructure.

Instant List Loading — 15,000+ Records

Redesigned quote, order and user list architecture serving 15,000+ quotes and 10,000+ records. Replaced a single slow query with a hybrid strategy — lightweight 300-document initial load with client-side search, deep backend fallback on demand.

Near-Zero Downtime Deployment Pipeline

Rearchitected the Azure deployment pipeline around prerendered static output — Azure Storage Account + FrontDoor CDN with compression, caching headers and transfer optimisation. Production downtime cut from 10 minutes to under 60 seconds.

2D Interactive DXF Cutting Plan Renderer

Complete end-to-end cutting plan feature engineered from scratch. DXF files ingested via ASP.NET, geometric data published to Azure Service Bus, processed asynchronously through Azure Functions, persisted to CosmosDB, and rendered as interactive vector layouts in Angular via Canvas and SVG APIs.

MongoDB Race Condition & Live Schema Migration

Traced and eliminated a concurrency bug causing duplicate order IDs — implemented an atomic sequence generator in MongoDB. Also led a live schema migration converting incorrectly stored date strings to DateTime types across 3 collections and 30,000+ documents.

Instant Quote Submission UX

Redesigned the quote submission flow by decoupling the user-facing response from Azure Service Bus processing. Users receive instant confirmation while guaranteed async delivery continues in the background — 15 seconds of perceived wait eliminated without compromising reliability.
