I'm a Software Engineer at Lloyds Banking Group, building automation workflows across upstream and downstream trading systems — with Xceptor, .NET and SQL Server underneath.
I'm a Software Engineer at Lloyds Banking Group, working on the Xceptor platform to build and maintain automation workflows across upstream and downstream trading systems. Day to day that means .NET and C# services, SQL Server, MI extracts feeding Power BI, and match rules that decide whether a trade confirmation clears on its own.
Before that: a Computer Science degree at City St George's, University of London, and a technology internship with Bright Network. I'm based in London and open to remote collaboration.
Lloyds Banking Group
Developed and maintained automation workflows using Xceptor for upstream/downstream trading systems. Led implementation of MI file extracts optimised for Power BI ingestion and achieved ~70% uptick in STP rates for trade confirmations through enhanced match rules.
Bright Network
Outlined the project lifecycle for designing a fictitious facial recognition implementation for a large UK bank’s online banking platform. Experienced agile project management and learned how scrum teams operate within sprints to produce high-quality software.
City St George's, University of London
Achieved 2:1 Honours degree with modules including Programming in C++/Java, Data Structures and Algorithms, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, and Database and Web Development. Built a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals and software engineering principles.
Most of what I build sits inside a bank, so it can't be published. These are the areas I work across — case studies are being written up and will land here as they clear.

A Martyn’s Law compliance tool for UK venues, built ahead of the Act’s spring 2027 enforcement. A free checker decides whether a premises or an event falls in scope and at which tier; the paid product composes the four written procedures the Act requires, tracks staff awareness against them and reminds a venue to review them. Documents are assembled from a cited block library by attribute rather than by venue type, so fifteen kinds of venue share one library instead of fifteen — and there is deliberately no language model anywhere in the generation path. Closed-source.

An Outlook assistant — an ASP.NET Core API behind a Next.js client, reading mail and calendars through Microsoft Graph and calling Azure OpenAI to summarise threads, draft replies and propose meeting times. The public demo runs on seeded mailbox data; the AI responses are generated live. Source is public.

A data reconciliation platform — pipelines are configured, not coded: a step registry and a typed expression language drive a designer whose editors are generated from each step’s own parameter schema, not hand-written per step type. Ingests two feeds, applies validated rules, and produces a break queue with stable identities across reruns. Runs on SQLite or SQL Server behind the same EF Core model. Not yet public — the product is closed-source by design; the three libraries it consumes (expression engine, tabular parsing, resumable batch processing) are extracted as open-source packages.

Not a logo wall. Each technology is grouped by the context it belongs to — daily production work, domain platforms, tooling, side projects and the ways of working around them — with the experience behind it.
