About Me

Crafting Resilient Platforms

I'm a passionate software engineer based in Birmingham, UK, specializing in building scalable, event-driven systems that power critical business operations.

With a deep expertise in .NET and Azure, I architect microservices that handle millions of transactions while maintaining exceptional reliability and performance.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, reverse engineering malware or contributing to open source.
