I'm a technical product and project leader with 10+ years delivering complex technology programmes across infrastructure, telecom, and software. I pair that delivery track record with hands-on Python and Go development — I care about writing code that lasts, systems that fail gracefully, and teams that own their work.

Linux has been my primary environment since my early teens. I'm drawn to open source because the quality pressure is real: code that anyone can read is code that has to be good.

All the live apps above run on infrastructure I own and operate end to end. They were originally deployed on Render (managed hosting); in 2026 I migrated the portfolio onto a self-managed stack for cost optimisation and fuller control — a Raspberry Pi 5 running Docker and Coolify (self-hosted PaaS), exposed to the internet through a Cloudflare Tunnel with no open ports, and administered remotely over a Tailscale mesh VPN. CI/CD auto-deploys on push via a GitHub App; daily integrity-verified backups and UptimeRobot monitoring run across every service — monitoring has already caught and logged a real incident.

Everything lives behind ivple.com — a static landing page served from Cloudflare's edge, so the front door stays up independently of the Pi, linking through to each app on its own subdomain.

My path into software engineering is unconventional — I started as an architect, which taught me something software teams often learn the hard way: documentation is the product. In BIM environments, every design decision has to survive handover to contractors and maintenance teams working on a system for decades. That shapes how I write READMEs, architecture notes, and runbooks.

Before that I led delivery of a £77M technology programme for the London Underground Piccadilly Line — a safety-critical OPO CCTV system with a hard 200ms glass-to-glass latency constraint across 55 live stations. That context — no tolerance for silent failures, no "we'll fix it later" — is what I carry into software.

My Python systems, Web3 integrations, and DevOps practices were all self-taught alongside full-time work. I'm a fast learner because I'm genuinely curious, and I build things that are actually deployed and used — not just committed.

• 🚀 Building a stealth SaaS product — full-stack, solo, MVP shipping July
• 📚 Building in Go — interfaces, goroutines, multi-cloud SDK integrations
• 🔐 Working towards CompTIA Security+
• 🤖 Deepening agentic AI and local LLM tooling — Claude Code, Ollama, agent workflows
• 🌍 Interested in contributing to open source in the Python / Go ecosystem

• Observability from day one — if you can't measure it, you can't debug it
• Graceful degradation at every boundary — external dependencies will fail
• Documentation versioned with code — stale docs are worse than no docs
• Quality is a culture, not a phase
