I architect event-driven systems for airlines, travel & finance.
(Manifesto)
Eight years of shipping software for airlines, travel giants and enterprise clients taught me one thing: everything is a system. Data flows, supply chains, capital. Design them with care and they compound. That is the work, on both sides of my life.
Chapter 01Engineering2016 — Now
Full-stack engineer turned enterprise consultant. I design the services that sit behind flight bookings, financial messaging and real-time data platforms, where downtime is not an option.
I started coding in high school, shipping freelance products for clients in Australia and South Korea. Since then I have built for Emirates in Dubai, Amadeus in Nice and enterprise clients at Endava, across Java, Spring, Quarkus, Kafka, Angular, React, Flutter and Kotlin.
(Experience)
Designing and delivering scalable solutions for enterprise clients, focused on API management, event-driven architectures and data integration platforms. I work through both pre-sales and delivery: proofs of concept, technical architecture, and guiding teams to production-ready services.
Core backend team at Emirates' Dubai headquarters, building the enterprise services behind global flight booking, ticketing and reservations.
Built a new Order Management System at the world's leading travel technology company. It streamlines flight bookings and lets travellers buy a wide range of services and products. I worked remotely for Amadeus in Nice through Thales.
Joined Thales full-time and received targeted technical training for large-scale enterprise projects.
Helped architect and build a mobile startup app and a web platform for a large-scale online marketplace.
Started in high school, out of a genuine love of building. I delivered tailored software for small and mid-sized businesses across industries, working closely with each client from brief to launch.

A pre-sales proof of concept combining API management and event streaming. A custom Lua plugin on Kong ingests ISO financial messages and publishes them straight to Kafka topics.
A framework that turns raw database change events into domain models, propagating every change reliably to distributed services and enterprise CRM.
Spring services that bridge modern digital channels to the airline's mainframe in real time. They are the backbone of customer-facing and internal operations worldwide.
Event-driven Quarkus microservices for a new Order Management System that lets travellers book flights alongside a wide range of services and products.
A digital newsstand for AgForest Australia and a cultural social platform for NFLABS Korea, each built end-to-end from backend to native mobile.
Bronze national medal at an international computing competition, built while still in high school. It's where the habit started.
Chapter 02BusinessCapital & Commerce
Beyond software, I am an active investor and operator. I'm drawn to businesses where the edge is operational: buying right, moving product efficiently, and selling through channels that scale.
A degree in Business Administration taught me the theory: statistics, econometrics and how markets behave. Engineering taught me how to build systems that don't break. I bring both to every deal.
“Margin is made at purchase. Scale is made in the systems behind it.”
(Focus)
Volume buying with disciplined pricing and supplier relationships built for the long run.
Inventory, logistics and routes to market. The unglamorous machinery that decides who wins.
Direct channels and marketplaces, run on data loops that make every order smarter than the last.
Patient capital in businesses and assets with real cash flow and room to compound.
(The operating loop)
Find the supply others overlook. Negotiate on data, not gut feel.
Inventory as a portfolio: turns, risk and carrying cost.
Distribution engineered like a pipeline: reliable and observable.
Omnichannel e-commerce with automation behind every order.
Reinvest the cash flow. Repeat with a better system.
