About

I'm a keen creator with a passion for solving complex problems. Over 6+ years I've been described as a thorough and dedicated engineer.

My primary focus has been designing robust and scalable backend microservices written in Go and Python, with a smattering of React and C#, and I'm well experienced with a variety of SQL and NoSQL solutions such as MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.

To further feed my creativity I moonlight as a violinist for studio recordings and performances, and in my spare time I enjoy photography and creating video games with Godot.
