01 — OverviewOverview

I build across the full depth of the stack — from hardware projects and embedded systems to production AI and web dashboards real operations depend on.

My edge is breadth grounded in real context. I've worked across IT operations, care management, and software development — always close enough to the problem to understand what actually matters.

Full Stack Engineer

ClientIn Progress

Tiiqe

Social Media Management Platform

A client SaaS platform currently in active development. Helps businesses manage and automate their social media presence from a single dashboard.

Impact: Managing the full delivery lifecycle — architecture, documentation, and sprint-based development as sole engineer.

Fleet AI Companion

Fleet Intelligence System

An AI-native operational intelligence platform built with Skyledge, enabling natural-language queries over complex fleet data — designed for real operational environments, not just demos.

Impact: Enabled natural language queries on fleet data with high reliability. Implemented safety guardrails and semantic caching to improve response accuracy and latency.

Embedded Systems Engineer

SDI-12 Sensor & Data Logger

Environmental Monitoring System

Field-reliable environmental monitoring system built on the SDI-12 protocol. The real engineering was in the gap between prototype and deployed — stable sensor communication, structured on-device logging, and TFT visualisation that held up outside the lab.

Impact: Received a Certificate of Outstanding Student Project for practical engineering and strong reliability in sensor communication.

06 — About & MindsetAbout

Background. Experience. Builder.

I started in IT operations — on-site workstation deployments, monitor and dock setups, and cable management across commercial office environments. That grounding gave me an appreciation for how technical environments actually function day to day.

At Barton Care I wore two hats simultaneously — building the rostering software as a developer intern while also running community care operations as a manager. Shipping features to systems you personally depend on has a way of focusing your priorities.

The SDI-12 sensor logger that won Outstanding Student Project taught me that the gap between a prototype and something that actually works reliably in the field is where most of the real engineering happens.

Currently leading development of Tiiqe — a social media management SaaS — as sole engineer, alongside select client work in web, mobile, and AI.

Discipline. Consistency. Never quit.

Building great software takes the same muscle as building yourself.

The best thing I ever did for my career was commit to personal transformation. Discipline. Showing up when it's hard. Trusting the process when progress feels invisible. I learned these in the gym — and I carry them into every line of code I write.

I'm the kind of person who decides to change and then actually does. I chase goals relentlessly — in training, in projects, in life. I don't quit when things get hard. That same conviction is behind everything I ship.
