Enterprise work, anonymized

The bigger systems, and what they changed.

The problem, the result and the engineering behind it. Client names are anonymized where confidentiality requires it.

Three that moved a real number.

  1. Telecommunications events platform

    Major UK telecoms provider, anonymized · 7 billion events a year

    The problem

    A legacy system buckling under exponential data growth, with enterprise ERP integration requirements layered on top and no tolerance for downtime.

    The approach

    A complete microservices redesign with fault-tolerant event processing, migrated piece by piece so live traffic never noticed.

  2. Real-time analytics transformation

    Enterprise software company, anonymized · Multi-tenant SaaS platform

    The problem

    Analytics queries taking 45 seconds or more, with customer churn climbing because of it.

    The approach

    Event-driven architecture with optimized data pipelines and caching strategies aimed at the queries people actually ran.

  3. Critical system recovery

    Financial services provider, anonymized · Multi-million transaction platform

    The problem

    Complete system failure during peak trading hours, losing roughly £50,000 a minute while it was down.

    The approach

    A 72-hour emergency architecture rebuild with a zero-downtime deployment strategy, then a proper rebuild behind it.

Anonymized where client confidentiality requires it.

Strictly a portfolio, for now.

I'm not taking on client work right now, so this site is just here to show what's been built. The full portfolio has games you can play, products you can use and the stories behind the bigger systems.
