Who I am
I'm a software engineer and founder with experience in Python backend development, enterprise cloud and API integration at IBM, open-source Rust, and commercial mobile game development.
My path ran from physics to Python backend engineering, then to IBM as a Cloud Developer Advocate and later an API and integration specialist, and on to founding DodoLabs — where I've taken products from prototype to global release across engineering, analytics, monetization, publishing, and live operations. I'm now bringing that mix of enterprise engineering and founder-level product experience into advanced study in computer science, AI, and secure software systems.
Selected work
IBM enterprise integrations
Custom API, authentication, and DevOps solutions for enterprise clients on IBM API Connect — including Azure auth integration for the UK Met Office and a cross-product DevOps method for Santander Bank.
DodoLang
A small interpreted language I designed and built from scratch in Rust, with first-class scalar, vector, and matrix types — a full lexer, parser, AST, interpreter, environment, and REPL.
Contributions to rust-clippy
Work in the official Rust linter: a merged fix to a false positive in the needless_return lint, plus a reviewed lint proposal that maintainers ultimately routed to the compiler itself.
