Building a new business unit's backend from an empty repository.

• Built the backend and the DevOps deployment pipelines from scratch, through to the alpha launch.
• Wrote the core DSL-to-action algorithm that turns plain English into automated test commands, with AI in the loop for the harder parsing.
• Helped bring in 7 enterprise customers and around $95k in revenue before launch, with no marketing behind it.
• Mentor the backend engineers on the team, and set up the instrumentation and health reporting the unit runs on.

Availability work and new platform support for the core product.

• Launched Playwright iOS support for remote mobile testing, which nobody had shipped before.
• Built a regional traffic-toggle system that reroutes sessions during network outages without anyone needing to step in.
• Contributed to scaling Automate from 800k to 2.5 million daily sessions over four years.

Platform expansion and the operational work that made it sustainable.

• Led the Playwright Mobile (Android) integration, the first of its kind, and took it from 0 to 25,000 daily sessions.
• Cut operational alerts from 195 to around 5 a day by stabilising the codebase rather than tuning thresholds.
• Worked on framework adoption, taking Cypress from 1k to 50k and Playwright desktop from 1k to 100k daily sessions.
• Reduced backend processing time by 25% using a telemetry framework that streamed performance metrics into BigQuery, which made the bottlenecks easier to isolate.

Performance and release engineering.

• Cut mobile and desktop device start times by around 30% and 15% by removing dead code, streamlining execution flows and introducing parallel processing.
• Automated end-to-end release pipelines in Jenkins across Selenium, Playwright and Cypress, taking deployment turnaround from 5 days to under 3.
• Fixed bottlenecks in a core test framework, and wrote up the performance standards the wider team ended up using.
• Built real-time system metrics dashboards to catch stability regressions before customers did.

Security and data-protection foundations.

• Implemented a secure access management system using JWTs and hashing algorithms to protect API endpoints and handle PII.
• Optimised PostgreSQL and Redis functions, which noticeably improved backend processing speed.

Full-stack product work.

• Built a custom graph rendering library in Angular from first principles.
• Developed .NET backend services, plus WCAG and Section 508 compliant frontends.
