Architecture
Module boundaries, data models and contracts that still make sense two years later.

Cloud Architecture
Six years building products where I own the whole path — the data model and services, the web applications on top of them, and the mobile clients in people's hands. Currently leading the architecture of the V2 mobile platform at RentalMatics, alongside the multi-tenant backend and microfrontend it runs against.

Approach
Three layers, one system
I work across the three layers most teams split between three people: the services and data model underneath, the web applications that expose them, and the mobile clients that consume them. Owning all three means I design for the seams — the API contract, the offline case, the release and rollback path — instead of discovering them late.
At RentalMatics that means leading the architecture of the V2 mobile platform while the same work continues server-side in a multi-tenant Laravel system and in the browser in a React and AngularJS microfrontend serving nine locales.
Seniority, to me, is about the decisions that are expensive to reverse: module boundaries, data models, release strategy, and the observability that tells you when a call was wrong. I optimise for teams shipping confidently long after I've moved on.
Full ownership
Schema to screen — I ship the service, the interface and the pipeline between them.
Reliability
Regression gates, staged rollouts and telemetry that surfaces problems before users do.
Capabilities
Where I go deep
The services, the interfaces, and the pipeline that gets them in front of people.
Backend & APIs
Domain-driven services, multi-tenant data isolation, queue-backed workloads and versioned contracts clients can depend on.
Web Applications
React and microfrontend systems, internationalised including RTL.
Mobile Platforms
React Native at architecture level — modules, natives, releases.
Cloud Infrastructure
AWS, GCP and Azure — topology, scaling and cost.
Delivery Engineering
Build and release pipelines, over-the-air updates, staged rollouts and a rollback path that has been tested.
Quality Automation
End-to-end and performance suites enforced in CI.
Observability
Crash, performance and delivery telemetry instrumented so regressions surface before a user reports them.
Technical Leadership
Design reviews, mentoring and written decisions that keep a team aligned once the codebase outgrows one head.
Career
Experience & education
- Own the architecture of the V2 mobile platform — New Architecture migration, a modular core library, and a runtime capability model that keeps the product usable on constrained hardware.
- Designed and shipped the push notification and over-the-air release infrastructure across iOS and Android, including the staged rollout and rollback path.
- Extend the multi-tenant backend platform — domain modules, queue workers and a four-channel notification pipeline serving operators across Europe.
- Delivered journey replay and alert management into the hybrid React and AngularJS microfrontend, including nine-locale internationalisation with RTL support.
- Introduced automated end-to-end and performance regression testing into the release pipeline, moving quality checks ahead of release rather than after it.
- Resolved cloud and network incidents in SLA-bound production environments.
- Drove root-cause analysis into permanent fixes rather than recurring tickets.
- Delivered features end to end across Laravel services and React Native clients, deployed on AWS and Azure.
- Integrated third-party marketplace and payment systems against unreliable external APIs.
- Built cross-platform mobile applications in React Native and TypeScript.
- Integrated mapping, messaging and multiple payment providers into a single checkout flow.
- Maintained the build and release pipelines in Azure DevOps.
- Led a small team delivering React Native applications on top of Laravel backends.
- Owned the AWS infrastructure — EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway and DynamoDB.
- Set the code review and release conventions the team worked to.

Selected work
Systems I've designed and shipped
Backend, web and mobile — usually all three on the same product.
01
Fleet Mobile Platform, V2
Led the architecture of a ground-up rebuild: a modular core library, migration to React Native's New Architecture, a runtime capability model for constrained devices, and the push and over-the-air release infrastructure behind it.
02
Multi-Tenant Backend Platform
Laravel platform with per-tenant data isolation and domain-driven modules, queue-backed workloads, and a four-channel notification pipeline serving fleet operators across Europe.
03
Microfrontend Web Dashboard
Journey replay and alert management delivered into a hybrid React and AngularJS shell, with shared authentication state and nine locales including RTL.
04
Runtime Capability Model
Classifies devices at runtime and degrades UI work under sustained frame drops, keeping the product usable on low-end hardware without forking the codebase.
05
Release & Quality Automation
End-to-end and performance regression suites running on a device matrix, wired into CI so a broken flow or a frame-rate drop fails the build instead of the release.
06
Memory Management & Data Recovery Research
MSc research into memory management and recovery efficiency — metadata categorisation for deduplication accuracy, and parallel processing strategies for backup and restore throughput.
Next
The next system
A mobile platform to architect, a backend to modernise, or a release pipeline that needs to become boring — happy to get into the detail.

Let's talk about the hard parts
Architecture reviews, a platform that needs owning end to end, or a delivery process that has stopped keeping up — those are the conversations I enjoy most.
