Blockchain, Distributed and Secure Architectures
📍 London, UK (GMT) | 🌍 Open to remote and hybrid opportunities

Last updated: Sept 2025

I design infrastructures that protect data, reduce risk, and scale with resilience.
I engineer secure, distributed, and scalable systems by combining blockchain engineering, cybersecurity practices, and systems architecture to align technology with business and compliance goals.

• 🔐 Secure by design — delivered with compliance awareness (GDPR/HIPAA).
• ⚡ Scalable in practice — tested with blockchain frameworks (Hyperledger, Ethereum testnets) and distributed storage (IPFS).
• 🎯 Strategically aligned — informed by MSc technical depth and MBA strategic insight.

Now: focusing on secure-by-design distributed workflows and resilience testing in blockchain-based systems.

• Software and Systems Engineering — cloud, distributed frameworks, systems design
• Blockchain Engineering — Hyperledger, Ethereum testnets, IPFS integrations
• Secure Development — threat modelling, secure coding workflows, compliance checks, Zero Trust principles, secrets management, PII handling, data minimization
• Systems Architecture and Strategy — aligning infrastructures with business and regulation
• Project and Stakeholder Management — delivery discipline with PRINCE2

Additional expertise: platform engineering, cloud architecture (AWS), IAM, resilience engineering.

Designed and evaluated a decentralised framework for managing clinical narratives.

• Implemented with blockchain (Hyperledger and Ethereum testnets) and IPFS.
• Evaluated scalability, resilience, and compliance alignment (GDPR/HIPAA).
