- Built the backend integration for LLM-powered chatbot workflows end-to-end — from choosing the right model and configuring prompts, to planning token budgets and setting up cost monitoring so usage stays predictable
- Actively use AI coding assistants as part of my daily engineering workflow — for exploring approaches, drafting implementations, refactoring, and writing technical docs. It's a productivity multiplier, not a replacement for engineering judgment
- Every AI-generated output goes through my review before it reaches production. I treat AI suggestions as rough drafts — useful starting points that still need human judgment for correctness, edge cases, and long-term maintainability

Aug 2020 - Nov 2025The KPI Institute · Australia
Designed and built an LMS backend from scratch, comprising 10+ microservices covering multi-tenant architecture, RBAC, authentication, reporting, assessments, and third-party integrations, including database schemas, API contracts, OpenAPI documentation, and asynchronous inter-service communication via RabbitMQ.
Led and mentored a backend team of up to 5 engineers through code reviews, technical design discussions, coding standards, hiring support, and sprint planning.
Translated product requirements and PRDs into technical specifications, implementation plans, and developer-ready Jira tasks, reducing ambiguity and improving delivery predictability.
Owned production incident response for the LMS backend, investigating root causes, shipping fixes, and building an audit trail after a critical data loss event, bringing incidents from weekly to rare while maintaining 99.9% uptime.
Resolved a chronic reporting performance issue through index tuning, query optimization, and targeted code refactoring, cutting load time from 10+ seconds to under 1 second.
Key Achievements:
Delivered the LMS backend from zero to production, scaling to 1,000+ enterprise users across multiple countries over five years.
Enhanced system throughput by 25% by implementing asynchronous processing within microservices and optimizing database queries.
Built and maintained a backend team of five over five years, from sourcing and hiring through onboarding and knowledge transfer, keeping code quality and delivery standards consistent as the platform scaled.
Technical Lead, Skills1 (concurrent) (May 2025 – Nov 2025)
Served as the sole internal technical owner for a course aggregator and content learning platform built by a 5-person external team, reviewing milestone deliverables against agreed specifications and catching requirement gaps before they turned into rework.
Acted as the technical bridge between C-suite stakeholders and the vendor team, translating scope change requests into cost and timeline impact assessments under a fixed-cost waterfall contract.
Kept Milestones 1 and 2 on schedule through consistent deliverable reviews and proactive escalation of late-stage scope changes.

Extended the platform with a hotel and booking module, building end-to-end booking flows while refactoring a large monolithic file and optimizing filter and search performance.
Introduced task-based estimation and delivery tracking across the team, improving timeline predictability before formal sprint processes were in place.
Set up a basic CI/CD pipeline using GitLab and SSH-based deployment to a VPS, and conducted functional testing, debugging, and code validation across new and legacy features to maintain application stability.
Key Achievements:
Conceptualized and delivered a marketplace platform from scratch with a 6-person team, covering full-stack development from database design through production deployment.
Improved team delivery rate by 30% through structured task estimation, progress tracking, and GitLab-based deployment automation.
Reduced deployment time by 40% through a combination of GitLab CI/CD pipeline setup and Laravel codebase refactoring, replacing manual deployment steps and eliminating release bottlenecks.
