During my role as Software Engineer and Project Lead at Hacka, I architected a vulnerability detection pipeline leveraging multi-stage agentic AI to identify code vulnerabilities pre-production. This system integrates cyber security principles with software engineering to automate vulnerability discovery at scale.

• — Designed and implemented industry-leading vulnerability detection pipelines, establishing the technical foundation for automated pre-production security scanning.
• — Integrated production-grade agentic AI into a multi-stage orchestration flow, enabling autonomous vulnerability classification and remediation recommendations at scale.
• — Built a demand-driven scanning architecture that provisions resources dynamically, reducing infrastructure costs whilst maintaining sub-second response times for concurrent scan requests.

As the project lead developer of Event Maestro, I took ownership of a critical redevelopment phase using my love for SvelteKit and modern cloud-based architecture to create a scalable cloud based event management solution, creating a strong competitor for the likes of industry event management leaders.

• — Streamlined the client onboarding workflow, reducing setup time by 20% through process automation and refined documentation, enabling faster time-to-value for new users.
• — Architected a universal plugin system enabling seamless integration across WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify—eliminating platform-specific implementation overhead and reducing time-to-market for new client deployments.
• — Improved core webapp performance by 15% through optimised data fetching strategies and frontend rendering efficiency, directly reducing user friction and improving retention metrics.

Developed and delivered custom software systems at Code Galaxy using modern technologies and industry best practices to create secure, and scalable solutions.

• — Led the development and implementation of a warehouse operations platform, improving stock management processes and operational visibility for users through efficient system design and reliable backend services.
• — Provided technical guidance to engineering team members on secure development practices, system performance, and architectural decisions, contributing to improved code quality and operational efficiency.
• — Led internal cyber security initiatives, including coordinating and driving the organisation’s efforts to achieve Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification. This involved developing security policies, implementing required technical controls, and ensuring organisational compliance with recognised security standards.
