Senior Application Developer based in Glasgow, Scotland, working hybrid in Edinburgh, with professional software experience since 2006. I build and support enterprise solutions across investment management and financial services, working from analysis and design through development, release and production support.

About

Reliable, maintainable software for complex business environments.

My career spans enterprise software delivery across the UK and India, with experience in investment management and financial services. I work across both legacy and modern platforms, and I enjoy turning business needs into practical solutions that remain understandable and supportable after they go live.

How I work

I work across the full development lifecycle, including analysis, design, implementation, testing, controlled release and production support. My experience includes close collaboration with business users, analysts, developers and cross-functional teams.

I also value knowledge sharing and mentoring, particularly when helping newer team members build confidence with systems, processes and technical delivery.

Expertise

Enterprise engineering from application code to integration and support.
