Primary Stack

Senior backend and platform engineer specialising in Python and AWS serverless. Most recently at Vocovo, building telemetry ingestion pipelines processing tens of millions of SIP events per day across tens of thousands of retail devices. Available now for senior backend, platform, and data-infrastructure contracts.

Engineering Impact

Telemetry Ingestion Pipelines

Engineering high-throughput services processing tens of millions of events per day — converting live device traffic into structured, analytics-ready datasets.

Distributed Backend Systems

Building production-grade async microservices with queue and stream-based decoupling, sustaining thousands of writes per second at peak load.

Serverless Data Platforms

Delivering scalable processing pipelines using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, and S3 — cost-effective and operationally reliable at scale.

Observability & Reliability

Introducing structured logging, CloudWatch monitoring, and alerting across async microservice architectures — materially improving incident response and operational visibility.

Representative Systems

Structured Telemetry Extraction Pipeline

Containerised SIP traffic listener reconstructing fragmented TCP streams via libpcap and producing structured event datasets landing hundreds of gigabytes in S3 daily.

Python libpcap Docker Telemetry Pipelines

Event-Driven Analytics Data Platform

Asynchronous microservices processing operational telemetry streams into DynamoDB and S3 datasets supporting monitoring and downstream analytics workflows.

AWS Lambda DynamoDB S3 Event Architecture

Serverless Data Access APIs

Lambda and API Gateway services exposing structured datasets to analytics, automation workflows, and downstream consumers — with Cognito authentication and CloudWatch observability.

Lambda API Gateway Python Serverless

Event-Driven Platform Architecture

Device Traffic Ingestion Pipeline Structured Storage Analytics & APIs

High-throughput telemetry ingestion → structured storage → analytics-ready data access layers.
