As a software engineer with strong foundations in Microsoft technologies, I specialize in developing enterprise-scale financial applications. My expertise centers on full-stack development using C# and JavaScript, with a particular focus on writing clean, testable code through TDD practices.

At FNZ, I contributed to their Wealth Management Platform that serves major financial institutions across the UK and Europe. Working on this multi-tenant platform enhanced my expertise in C#, SQL Server, and React, while dealing with complex financial transactions and regulatory requirements. I gained valuable experience in building responsive interfaces that serve different business models including D2C, Advisor, and Workplace pension solutions.

At Evenlode Investment, I further developed my skills working on EDDIE, their investment research platform. This role involved working with Vue.js and Knockout.js for frontend development, while maintaining robust C# backend services. I gained extensive experience in financial data integrations, working with providers like Bloomberg and FactSet, and strengthened my expertise in automated testing using modern frameworks like Playwright and Cucumber.

Throughout my career, I've maintained a strong commitment to software quality and best practices, consistently working in agile environments and contributing to codebases that handle critical financial operations.
