AI-Directed Development & Generative AI
Directing AI-assisted delivery in production environments: senior architectural judgment steering AI execution (Claude, GitHub Copilot) across implementation, investigation, and migration work. Hands-on with Amazon Bedrock, agentic architectures, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations. Systematic validation of AI-generated output through test- and eval-driven workflows. This is engineering discipline applied to AI tooling — not prompt-and-hope.
Technical Team Leadership & Architecture Planning
Leading greenfield architecture projects from concept through deployment, building technical teams, and coordinating cross-functional teams on long-term technical roadmaps across enterprise organisations.
AWS Cloud Architecture
Deep hands-on knowledge of AWS services including VPC, EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CloudFront, DynamoDB, RDS/Aurora, Kinesis, Firehose, IoT Core, ElastiCache, SQS, CloudWatch, Route53, ACM, and EFS. Track record of architecting scalable, secure, and production-ready cloud solutions across multiple industries.
Serverless & Infrastructure as Code
Strong capability in designing and implementing serverless architectures using Terraform, CloudFormation, and the Serverless Framework. Experience with CI/CD pipelines (CodeDeploy, CodeBuild), Docker, and Linux/Ubuntu environments for enterprise-grade deployments.
IoT Data Platform Development
Architecture of high-throughput IoT data platforms processing telemetry from 100,000+ devices. Building real-time processing pipelines, historical analytics, and ReactJS dashboards for large-scale IoT deployments.
Data Warehouse Design & Analytics
Expertise in designing and building large-scale data warehouses, ETL pipelines, and analytics platforms. Proven delivery of centralised data platforms processing hundreds of thousands of XML files, HTML sources, and live APIs, supporting scouting, match preparation, and performance analysis.
Programming Languages & Frameworks
Proficiency in NodeJS, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Bash, SQL, ReactJS, and React Native. Application of these languages across backend services, data pipelines, and cross-platform mobile applications.
API Integration & Data Streams
Integration of REST and SOAP APIs, Kinesis Data Streams, and ElasticSearch for large-scale data ingestion and processing. Experience connecting diverse data sources including XML, Excel, CSV, SQL Server, and third-party sports data providers.
