About Me.

I’m a First-Class (Hons) Computer Games graduate and Software Engineer at Indra’s Micronav team in Bournemouth. My work spans software development, troubleshooting complex technical systems, and turning intricate engineering challenges into clean, user-focused solutions. Previously, I worked at Bridgeworks Ltd, where I developed scalable software, containerised the PORTrockIT WAN- acceleration product, and collaborated with OCF to improve IBM’s GPFS storage performance. I enjoy working across full-stack and systems development, with experience in C, C++, JavaScript, Lua, Bash, Docker, networking, and packet-level analysis.
