About Me

Highly motivated and creative Full Stack AI Engineer with 7 years of professional experience specialising in React frontend development and AI-enabled application development, as well as .NET, Python and Node.js backend technologies. Proficient in working with Microsoft Azure and AWS cloud platforms to build scalable, cloud-native web applications, with deep expertise in Generative AI and RAG architecture using Azure OpenAI services.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered production-grade applications across the health, public sector, travel and retail industries, taking projects from proof of concept through to full production release, meeting client requirements under tight deadlines and budgets. My disciplined and self-starting approach allows me to take ownership across the full delivery lifecycle, from solution design and architecture through to implementation, release readiness and stakeholder alignment.

With a growth mindset, I constantly challenge myself to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and web development. I am passionate about enhancing user experience and interface through the latest development practices, ensuring the highest standards of design, security and performance. Beyond individual contribution, I have led technical workstreams, mentored developers, and engaged directly with clients and stakeholders to drive project success.

In addition to my technical expertise, I hold a Bachelor of Computer Science with a major in Cybersecurity from the University of Adelaide, complemented by several industry certifications across Azure and AWS. I have also pursued business courses covering marketing and corporate finance, enabling me to assess company needs and adapt effectively to dynamic business environments.
