Looking for a strategic, long-term technical partner to scale your enterprise platform? Let’s connect. I am a Technical Lead and E-Commerce Architect with over 20 years of software engineering expertise. My background blends deep, foundational mastery of the Adobe Commerce (Magento 1 and 2) ecosystem with advanced specializations in Python Machine Learning and Generative AI frameworks like RAG, CrewAI, and LangChain. After spending the last 9 years scaling massive enterprise architectures in-house—including leading zero-downtime migrations of 13.5M records—I am returning to consulting. I am looking for long-term engagements where I can take complete ownership of your platform, lead development squads, and drive digital transformations. THE AI-FIRST ADVANTAGE ====================== I operate as an AI-augmented architect. I do not use AI just for basic autocompletion. I orchestrate cutting-edge AI developer toolsets like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot to fast-track systems prototyping, automate test coverage, and write secure code at triple the speed of traditional development. I design the architecture and enforce strict code quality, while directing AI agents to execute the heavy lifting flawlessly. CORE CAPABILITIES ================= 🔹 Enterprise Magento Architecture: Expert in custom modules, plugins, observers, layout XML, EAV models, and headless or decoupled commerce architectures. 🔹 System Integration: Advanced skills engineering low-latency REST and GraphQL API layers connecting complex ERP, PIM, OMS, and global payment gateways. 🔹 Data Migration and Performance: Proven track record handling multi-million record database scaling, environment hygiene, and search or cache optimization using MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch. 🔹 Delivery Governance: Over 3 years concurrently acting as an Agile/Scrum Team Leader, mentoring engineers, and translating complex roadmaps for non-technical stakeholders. EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS ===================== 🔹 Enterprise Platforms: Led cross-functional squads, built distributed microservices, and migrated 13.5M customer records from M1 to M2 with zero operational downtime for high-volume UK enterprise platforms. 🔹 Global Brand Delivery: Built and optimized highly customized full-stack e-commerce platforms for major global brands like EHPLabs and Amazing Nutrition.
