Developing with a team on a multitude of microservice projects to allow companies to interact with mobile networks. This enables them to provision various SIMs at will for IOT Systems or large corporate/ global events, such as the Olympics, in real time.

• Various microservices (ASP.NET and .NET Core), and backend processes for various networks (external and in-house), orchestrated through Kubernetes and Azure queues.

• TypeScript React (both base and utilising Next.js) for customer-facing web applications (such as partner pages and SIM management portals).

• Blazor for both internal and external web applications and services (examples include billing insights, internal shipping management, and admin tools for networks).

• Porting and maintaining various legacy apps in .NET Framework (WPF and Winforms), and older C# ASP.NET systems such as ASP.NET MVC.

These applications would be stored within an SQL database. Working at Cellhire included creating software solutions for external or internal clients

Developing products for the productcaster line designed to optimise Feeds, Comparison Shopping Services, and affiliates, for some of the largest retailers in the UK and EU. Development of these products for use:

• .NET (ASP.NET and .NET Core) for API and a core processor for complex, intensive backend processes.

• Kubernetes (Keda) with Azure Portals/DevOps for continual deployment and hosting of pods and File Storage (blob/ fileshare).

• SQL (PSQL)/ Non-SQL Databases (MongoDB) for database storage.

• Typescript/JavaScript with React for a frontend portal website.

Work at Summit included updating legacy JavaScript code to .NET, creating new products, collaborating with key stakeholders, and improving and bug-fixing existing systems. This was done in collaboration with the development team and other key stakeholders in other teams, such as growth, marketing, and affiliates.

Part of the 3D team developing real-time procedural kitchen and bedroom rendering systems using Unity and a C# (.NET Mono) backend across Windows, Mac, WebGL, VR, and Linux cloud platforms.

With 3D application integrated with a JavaScript CAD platform via WebSockets, and developed cloud-based rendering pipelines using Amazon EC2, Docker, and RabbitMQ to generate realistic 3D renders from user-designed plans. Key responsibilities included:

• Developing scalable, algorithm-driven systems using SOLID principles

• Leading architectural improvements and legacy code refactoring

• Managing developers and delivering stakeholder features using Scrum and Kanban

• Collaborating with QA, developers, and artists to improve automation and deployment workflows

Led a project nominated for the Go Tech Awards, delivering dynamically styled 3D kitchens on Meta Quest 2 through real-time light mapping through cloud-based rendering.

Working for ESP Group Syntax to develop a mobile application using QR codes for public transport systems. This application was a Flutter (Dart) based mobile application that connects to an ASP.NET Server API, done in a small team using SCRUM and Agile methods.
