• Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects

• Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development

• Custom ERP system

• Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.

• Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.

• Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.

• Timesheet app

• Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.

• Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.

• Cash-flow modelling

• Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.

• Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.

• Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

• Led the end-to-end delivery of enterprise full-stack web applications by driving requirement analysis, solution design, frontend and backend development, database design, API integration, code reviews, team coordination, Agile execution, CI/CD deployments, production support, performance optimization, security implementation, and stakeholder collaboration to deliver scalable, high-quality software solutions.

AI Platform Backend – Senior Developer

Brought in to design and build a backend for an AI platform from scratch, including multi-provider LLM orchestration and real-time infrastructure for AI influencer personas at scale.

Tasks and responsibilities

• Architecture and implementation of a multi-LLM orchestration layer with Semantic Kernel to integrate GPT-4 and other providers for core platform logic and AI influencer personas, reducing model-switching overhead by abstracting provider APIs behind a single interface.
• Design and development of a backend from scratch in C# / .NET 10, including domain modeling with DDD, a versioned RESTful API layer, and cloud infrastructure setup on Azure.
• Built a real-time chat infrastructure with Server-Sent Events (SSE), message persistence, and delivery guarantees for live operation of AI influencer personas at scale.
• Developed a media management service with integration of cloud object storage for upload and retrieval of influencer-generated content.
• Created an integration and unit test suite with data seeding for reliable regression testing across all core platform flows, significantly reducing production error rates.

• Codebase Evaluation & Problem Design: Designed and stress-tested complex software engineering problems against large open-source Python codebases (including pandas), requiring deep context acquisition and architectural understanding to produce well-scoped, realistic problem statements aligned to strict correctness guidelines.
• Agent Failure Analysis: Assessed LLM coding agent solutions for correctness and completeness, identifying meaningful failures across edge case handling, dtype behaviour, and multi-column NaN propagation logic; documented findings with precision for downstream evaluation use.
• Programmatic Test Suite Development: Authored comprehensive pytest suites to programmatically verify agent-generated solutions against defined requirements, with deliberate coverage of boundary conditions and failure modes not caught by naive implementations.
• Containerised Environment Engineering: Built and debugged Docker environments for reproducible agent execution, including git-based repository provisioning, dependency pinning with npm ci, and multi-stage Dockerfile authoring across Linux-based containers.
