Software Engineer | 7+ years of Experience | Python, AWS, Docker

I’m a software engineer specialising in Python backend development, SQL, data engineering, cloud integration, and infrastructure automation. I enjoy solving complex technical problems and transforming operational requirements into reliable, maintainable software that delivers measurable business value.

Throughout my career, I have developed and supported software across scientific research, renewable energy, battery technology, and telecommunications environments. This experience has given me a strong understanding of the complete software lifecycle—from gathering requirements and designing solutions to development, testing, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.

In my current role at the Australian Institute of Marine Science, I develop software and data-processing solutions that support environmental and scientific research. My work includes building Python-based ingestion and quality-control pipelines, processing sensor and logger data, integrating Oracle databases with AWS services, and deploying containerised applications using Docker and Docker Swarm. I also contribute to improving system reliability through automated workflows, monitoring, logging, testing, and CI/CD practices.

Previously, at PowerPlus Energy, I developed software for smart battery monitoring, manufacturing, testing, and operational support. I worked with Python, MySQL, SQLite, Linux, Raspberry Pi devices, RS485, Modbus, SNMP, Grafana, Docker, and GitLab CI/CD. I built data-collection pipelines, monitoring dashboards, automated testing tools, and hardware-integration solutions. These systems improved production efficiency, strengthened product reliability, and contributed to a significant reduction in product returns.

Before moving fully into software engineering, I worked in telecommunications network operations, supporting large-scale services and infrastructure such as DNS, SMTP, authentication systems, network monitoring, and deep packet inspection platforms. This background gives me a valuable combination of software engineering, networking, Linux administration, infrastructure, and production-support experience.

My core technical strengths include:

• Python backend development and automation
• SQL and relational databases, including Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite
• Data ingestion, transformation, validation, and quality-control pipelines
• AWS services, including SQS, SNS, Lambda, S3, and IAM
• Docker, Docker Swarm, Portainer, GitLab CI/CD, and GitHub Actions
• Linux systems administration, troubleshooting, and deployment
• Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, monitoring, and alerting
• Hardware and systems integration using RS485, Modbus, SNMP, serial communication, and edge devices
• Agile development, testing, documentation, and stakeholder collaboration

I value clean code, practical architecture, system reliability, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement. I work effectively with engineers, scientists, operational teams, and business stakeholders to understand problems and deliver solutions that are technically sound and useful in real-world environments.

I’m particularly interested in opportunities involving Python backend engineering, data engineering, cloud platforms, DevOps, IoT, systems integration, and distributed infrastructure. I’m always keen to connect with professionals and organisations working on meaningful technical challenges where reliable software, automation, and data can make a genuine impact.
