Notable projects:
Atlas
July 2026 — present 3 mos 3m
Platform for measuring and improving AI-assisted development. It collects agent telemetry so teams can evaluate tool use from observed data — where effort actually goes measured in tokens rather than in operator hours. In use with internal teams and one client. Built with Node.js, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Redis and Docker.
Pulse
April 2026 — June 2026 3 mos 3m
Internal project-management platform built with .NET services, DynamoDB and AWS Lambda. Terraform provisions the infrastructure and GitHub Actions handles delivery.

Technical Lead
September 2018 — December 2024 6 yrs 4 mos 6y 4m
SaaS employee-benefits platform. I led three engineers in Singapore inside an engineering group of roughly a hundred across five offices, delivering product features alongside counterparts in the UK, Romania, India and Australia, and shaping the backlog with stakeholders. After Marsh McLennan acquired the business, the team continued under Mercer.

Notable projects:
Benefits Platform
September 2018 — December 2024 6 yrs 4 mos 6y 4m
Full-stack feature work on a benefits platform serving around 3.5 million employees. I built the incremental and external reporting pipelines, a benefit-selection API for third parties, and an application-forms subsystem carrying its own domain-specific language from the UI through the services to the database. Six years with no critical production defect from my team, behind release gates for backward compatibility and security.
Receipt Recognition Service
January 2023 — December 2024 2 yrs 2y
Receipt and image recognition on Azure Document Intelligence, flagging disagreements between a claim and its receipt so the operations team no longer read every one by hand. Low-confidence results stay with a person by design, since the decision remains the specialist’s to answer for. A second strand on automated form filling did not leave research while I was there.
Frontend Guidelines & Component Library
January 2021 — December 2024 4 yrs 4y
Cross-office initiative behind the product’s design system: shared front-end guidelines and a component library, delivered automatically to existing components and extended as new ones were promoted into it. It moved the product a long way on consistency, at the cost of rewriting a great deal of existing code to get there.
Technosoft Pte Ltd (external link)
Lead Architect
February 2013 — September 2018 5 yrs 8 mos 5y 8m
Automotive software company. I joined as a software engineer in 2013, ran workshops and training for application developers, and from late 2015 led three senior engineers in Singapore. The office existed to back a much larger site in Jakarta: we built the delivery tooling and infrastructure, owned the critical components, and seeded hybrid product teams with Singapore engineers.

Notable projects:
Dealership Platform
February 2013 — September 2018 5 yrs 8 mos 5y 8m
System design and critical components for the dealership product, which shipped as an enterprise edition and a lighter one for APAC markets — the largest deployment, Nissan in Japan, ran around 50,000 internal users. Singapore took the work other sites could not land, usually processes that would not scale or finish, and the data flow was rebuilt around event messaging to meet its performance targets.
Telemetry SaaS
November 2015 — September 2018 2 yrs 11 mos 2y 11m
Observability and behavioural telemetry gathered from the company’s own product applications and processed with Hadoop and MapReduce over a document store, built by a Scrum team I led. It reached production, then was frozen when Microsoft shipped a competing platform and later retired; parts of it were reused across other products.
Dealership Mobile Apps
November 2015 — September 2018 2 yrs 11 mos 2y 11m
iOS and Android apps for dealership clients, initially built with Cordova and later with native components.

Computer science degree in Novosibirsk, covering systems programming, industrial controllers, desktop software and web development. Five years: the four-year bachelor’s, then the additional year for the Russian Engineer’s degree, which maps onto a bachelor’s rather than a master’s outside that system.
