Summary

Principal Developer with twelve years in Java and distributed messaging, the last five on FX trading platforms. I own delivery end to end, from architecture to production, and I build the tools that let other developers move faster. Most recently I was accountable for retiring TIBCO EMS and RV in favour of Solace across the FX estate, completed in August 2026, and I now lead the global rollout of a new trading UI.
