Appointed as Senior Developer and Data Architect for one of Australia's most significant cultural infrastructure investments. The role spans the full data estate of a government cultural institution operating across four precincts, embedded within a $1.3B capital program for the new Powerhouse Parramatta building.

• Architected the enterprise data and integration layer for the Parramatta precinct — defining data flows, governance patterns, and lifecycle management across ticketing (Tessitura), CRM (Prospect2), venue operations (Momentus Elite), collections (EMU/Axiell), and CMS (Sanity), covering the full pipeline from source-of-truth ingestion through to consumer-facing delivery.

• Designed and led delivery of ETL pipelines for the 500,000+ object Powerhouse Collection, migrating from legacy on-premise EMU infrastructure to a cloud-native architecture spanning Azure Blob storage, PostgreSQL, Typesense search indexes, and Redis — with AI-augmented metadata enrichment to improve cross-collection discoverability.

• Architected a distributed Content API platform servicing concierge digital signage, mobile applications, and web consumers across Parramatta, Ultimo / Castle Hill, and Sydney Observatory — aggregating real-time data from Tessitura, Sanity, Momentus, and EMU into a unified contract, scaling to millions of requests with sub-second latency for live venue-wide programming displays.

• Established data governance, security, and audit standards for DataHub, the middleware access layer brokering all reads against the EMU source-of-truth — defining auth, policy enforcement, audit logging, and the contract between upstream catalogue systems and downstream search, cache, and application layers.

• Led data architecture and modelling for high-profile partner integrations: LeoLabs (satellite and orbital debris telemetry from Low Earth Orbit, for the Powerhouse × Lang Walker Family Academy Future Space program); OMA (behavioural and spatial data across 101 international shopping malls for the Mall101 opening exhibit); Axis Communications (real-time video analytics and AI-driven occupancy and space-utilisation pipelines).

• Owned the data lifecycle for a Sanity CMS estate processing 109M CDN requests, 7.9M API requests, and 4TB of bandwidth annually across 3 datasets, 16.8K documents, and 65GB of structured assets.

• Led stakeholder engagement across ticketing, finance, marketing, curatorial, and digital teams — translating business needs into data models, integration contracts, and reporting solutions aligned with NSW Government enterprise standards.

• Authored enterprise data and codebase governance frameworks adopted by internal teams and external delivery partners, defining design patterns, reusability standards, and compliance practices for data solutions across precincts.

• Provided technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and partner agencies on data engineering best practice, code coverage, and production-readiness — using AI-assisted development to run parallel data delivery streams across three precincts at the velocity of a team twice the size.

• Conducted load and failure-mode simulation of payment, ticketing, and content APIs prior to infrastructure provisioning — validating architectural and data-throughput assumptions for the $1.3B platform before production exposure.

• Lead Engineer — HUMANS Project (NASA × MIT Media Lab collaboration, Axiom-2 ISS mission and Athena lunar landing): sole platform engineer for a deep space message archiving system recognised with a 30th Annual Webby Award nomination. International program partners include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, M+ Hong Kong, OMA, Sydney Opera House, and Sydney Design Week.

Delivered data integration and analytics platforms for North American clients across real estate investment, supply chain, and media production — defining ingestion, modelling, and reporting layers for decision-support use cases in an agency context.

• Architected a real estate investment and equity portfolio data platform consolidating property, market, and securities data across Canadian jurisdictions — supporting portfolio monitoring, valuation modelling, and investor reporting workflows.

• Built supply chain and logistics data pipelines spanning North American territories, integrating multi-source operational data into unified models for visibility, forecasting, and operational decision-making.

• Led system architecture and CI/CD pipeline design across full-stack web (React, Next.js, TypeScript) and cross-platform mobile (Flutter, Swift), establishing testing, automation, and production-readiness standards.

• Engaged directly with the CEO and board on technical strategy and lead generation across multiple international markets.

Full-stack engineering in a fast-moving agency environment across React, Next.js, Flutter, and Swift — spanning web, mobile, and platform infrastructure.

• Engineered a web application integrating an item swapping mechanism modelled on the Kidney Tissue Match Algorithm — an unconventional application of clinical optimisation logic to a consumer marketplace problem.

• Developed and deployed an Auction and Bidding Monitoring System using Stripe, achieving a 30% increase in transaction volume and measurable reduction in processing time.

• Designed High-Level System Architectures and CI/CD pipelines, and led codebase review and refactoring across client delivery streams.

• Worked directly with the CEO and CTO across multiple concurrent client engagements.

Contributed to AAZZUR's federated API platform integrating European banking and financial-service providers — one of the more architecturally complex integration surfaces available in the embedded-finance space.

• Worked on the federated API layer exposing a unified interface across heterogeneous upstream financial systems — contributing to data contracts and integration logic that abstracted provider-level complexity for downstream clients.

• Designed and authored public API documentation for AAZZUR's external developer ecosystem — defining tech-stack guidance, integration patterns, and reference flows used by client-side engineering teams across European fintech and enterprise clients.

• Acted as a technical representative to external client developers, translating between AAZZUR's internal engineering and customer integration teams during onboarding, troubleshooting, and commercial discussions.

• Built and automated content and marketing infrastructure on Prismic + Nuxt.js, including programmatic page generation and supporting API integrations.

• Delivered Flutter front-end components for fintech operations, integrated against the embedded-finance API layer.

Core data engineering for PlanetDDS — a cloud-based dental practice management platform serving hundreds of practices and millions of users across North America. All work was conducted within a HIPAA-regulated environment handling Protected Health Information (PHI) including patient charts and clinical treatment records.

• Designed and operated multi-TB data pipelines on Azure Data Lake spanning hundreds of dental practices — managing the full data lifecycle from ingestion of clinical and operational records through to analytics-ready models for reporting and infrastructure observability.

• Implemented access control and audit logging frameworks for sensitive datasets, ensuring data governance alignment with healthcare compliance obligations and providing full traceability of access across engineering and analytics workflows.

• Led security scanning and vulnerability remediation across the data and platform layer, partnering with infrastructure teams to harden ingestion, storage, and reporting paths against cloud and application-layer threats.

• Engineered automated infrastructure and data-quality reporting pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Selenium/Cypress-based validation — surfacing reliability and data integrity issues across production environments.

• Drove performance and load testing for clinical data workflows at realistic multi-tenant scale, contributing to a 32% improvement in platform uptime and a 4% reduction in error rates as PlanetDDS scaled to millions of users.

First engineering role. Led mobile development for a fintech startup working to digitise payment systems and general store infrastructure across Bangladesh — an environment where distribution constraints and infrastructure limitations shaped every product decision.

• Designed and implemented Flutter mobile applications to digitise general store and payment system infrastructure — achieving a 55% increase in operational efficiency and a 76% reduction in transaction processing time in the target regional market.

• Led the iOS development team, responsible for architecture, delivery, and handoff across the mobile product suite.
