Software Engineer, Solirius Reply

So far I've been building C#/.NET backend services for Homes England's digitalisation of the £24.7 billion Help to Buy loan portfolio, working in a multidisciplinary government digital team. I've contributed to alpha-stage development and testing in Azure DevOps ahead of a UK Government Digital Service assessment, and organised an AI-assisted engineering hackathon for 20+ people using Microsoft Copilot.

Full-Stack Software Engineer, 3DQue

Worked across the stack on 3DQue's print-automation platform. I refactored the React/Tailwind frontend and added a tagging system that cut the time to locate print jobs by 40%, rewrote critical Go API endpoints for concurrency (1.4s → 0.8s), and built Direct2Print, connecting Shopify and Etsy orders straight into automated 3D-print workflows.

Vancouver, Canada

Software Engineer, MineSense

Built Python tooling for ShovelSense R&D, MineSense's real-time ore-sensing system. My data-capture and diagnostics tools improved telemetry quality by 37%, my software for the XRF detector hardware cut sensor test time by over 50% and doubled bench throughput, and I set up CI/CD pipelines that caught 10+ issues a week.
