Cloud and Software Engineer with two years of experience building full-stack applications and the cloud infrastructure behind them. I have worked across customs, maritime, and marketing-technology platforms, writing production code in .NET and Angular, setting up Azure environments and CI/CD pipelines, and integrating Azure OpenAI and the OpenAI API into live products. I move comfortably between frontend, backend, AI integration, and infrastructure work, and enjoy taking a problem from first requirements through to a working, monitored system.
