Forward Deployment Engineer

I build, deploy, and own things end to end.

Software engineer with production experience across backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and API integrations. Comfortable in environments I haven't seen before.

  • Migrated production FastAPI backend from zip-based Lambda deployment to containerised AWS ECR/Lambda workflow, resolving IAM permission gaps, platform architecture mismatches, and API Gateway routing configuration end to end.
  • Identified and replaced a third-party geocoding integration returning incorrect regional results, substituting a bounding-box-filtered API with Victorian postcode constraints.
  • Designed offline-compatible pytest suite mocking all external dependencies, enabling full CI validation without live infrastructure.

About

I am a software engineer with just over two years of production experience, currently completing a Master of Data Science at Monash University. I have worked across backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and API integrations — building things that run in production and debugging them when they do not.

I work well without hand-holding, give clear updates when something is blocked, and prefer to flag a problem early rather than go quiet and fix it later. I am comfortable picking up an unfamiliar codebase and making a meaningful contribution fast.

Outside of engineering I am interested in systems programming in Rust, game development, and long-term thinking about how software compounds over time.

Get in touch

I am currently looking for forward deployment engineering roles in Melbourne. If you are building something and need someone who can own a workstream end to end, I would like to talk.
