He specialises in Python backends and data processing—frequently using asyncio, FastAPI, Spark and AWS/Databricks—to build modular, performant pipelines and risk-focused services. His background spans quant risk work at BNP Paribas, large-scale data platforms for retailers, and repeated engagements at Equal Experts where he blends full-stack delivery with engineering craft.
