Software engineer Antigua and Barbuda Open to remote work and relocation

I build software that makes difficult work easier to run.

Full-stack products, backend systems, workflow automation, and applied AI. I take ownership from the first messy requirement through a working system people can use.

Proof in the work

Measured in time given back.

I care about whether the system saves time, survives edge cases, and gives the people using it a clearer way to work.

Manual conversion of one statement
Up to 4 weeks
One high-volume bank statement: 6,259 transactions across 1,145 PDF pages, done by hand alongside normal duties. Finance staff now run it themselves in minutes.
Even with no interruptions
4 working days
The best case for that same statement before automation. Now it takes minutes.
Monthly statements automated
84
Across 4 accounts and 4 fiscal years. At 12 statements a year per account, the manual backlog ran to months. Now it is one repeatable run.
Annual report types in one run
9
Generated from existing finance reports instead of a backlog-driven manual cycle, with accountant review kept for adjustments.

Time estimates supplied by the finance team.

“That is literally weeks of work that you have reduced to the click of a button.”

Selected systems

Built end to end.

Three systems that show the range: public-sector finance automation, integration-heavy backend engineering, and a multi-surface healthcare product.

How I work

From messy workflow to working system.

I understand the real process first, including the exceptions people have learned to work around. Then I build the software around the actual rules.

  1. Understand the real process

    Talk through the current work, handoffs, pain points, and expected outcome.

  2. Map rules and edge cases

    Turn exceptions, validation, and business logic into something explicit.

  3. Build the smallest useful system

    Ship a working path early, then improve it around real use.

  4. Test failure paths

    Check duplicates, retries, bad inputs, permissions, and recovery.

  5. Document and hand over

    Leave clear controls, logs, and guidance so the system is not a black box.
