## Headline

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\.
