§00 · intro

I build the boring half of products well enough to forget about, so the interesting half can move fast.

Two years on production Java/Spring Boot at Kiya.ai — REST APIs, SQL tuning, AML and core banking. MSc Cloud and Enterprise Computing, Distinction. On the side, I ship AI products: viberole.app is live with payments, fromfeed.app opens soon.

Most engineers pick a side — regulated backends or fast-moving AI tooling. I work on both, and the seam between them is where I like spending time.

§03 · before you go

If something here lands,
I would rather hear from you
than have you guess at the rest.

I am looking for software or full-stack engineer roles in the UK — places where the work is real, the team is sharp, and there is enough room to keep growing.
