AI accelerated Engineering @ Macmillan Learning | Building for Scale

About

​I build systems that evolve. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, my focus is on architecting resilient, high-throughput systems that solve complex problems at the intersection of human intuition and machine scale. ​Currently, at Macmillan Learning, I am pushing the boundaries of educational technology. My work involves designing interactive web frameworks and high-performance backend systems capable of serving millions of learners globally. ​My Core Philosophy: AI-Augmented Engineering In the modern landscape, I believe the role of the engineer has shifted from "coder" to "orchestrator." I don’t just use AI as a utility; I architect agentic workflows. By leveraging Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and custom coding agents, I’ve restructured the traditional SDLC into a high-velocity engine. ​Key Impact & Transformations: - ​Velocity Multiplier: Achieved a 5x increase in development speed by integrating agentic automation into the CI/CD and review pipelines without compromising code integrity. - ​Architectural Evolution: Spearheaded the migration of legacy monoliths into high-performance, Go and NestJS microservices, reducing release cycles by 66%. - ​Performance Optimization: Revitalized legacy SQL and API infrastructures, delivering performance gains from 3x to a transformative 800x. ​Whether I’m leading a cross-functional team through a core migration or mentoring the next generation of engineers, my goal remains the same: to build technology that scales effortlessly and impacts lives through efficiency and innovation.
