About Me

Get to know me better - my background, passions, and what drives me

AAM
London, United Kingdom

I'm a software engineer who loves building things that scale, meaning resilient cloud-native systems that stay calm when real traffic hits. Most of my career has been in fintech and open banking, turning fuzzy requirements into APIs and event-driven services teams can actually rely on. I'm endlessly curious about new tech and will happily pick up a language, framework, or tool when it's the right fit, and sometimes just for the fun of it. I like keeping things light, sharing what I learn, and building alongside people who genuinely enjoy the craft.
