Hi there 👋

Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of Ruby experience. Currently at Tembo Money, driving architectural modernisation of a mortgage recommendation platform processing 1.7M requests/day.

Author of two books on software engineering:

📕 Modular Rails: Architecture for the Long Game — A practical guide to building maintainable Ruby on Rails applications using Rails Engines. Available on Amazon UK · Amazon US. Companion app: Orbit.

📕 Building Your Own Roguelike: A Practical Guide — Procedural generation, ECS architecture, and event-driven design from scratch in Ruby.

I'm a strong advocate for Extreme Programming — TDD, pair programming, continuous integration, and simple design. I believe in modular monoliths over premature microservices, and in architecture that earns its complexity through evidence.

What I'm working on

  • 🏗️ Modular Rails architecture with engines at scale
  • 📊 Platform observability (NewRelic dashboards, production diagnostics)
  • 🎮 Vanilla Roguelike — a pure-Ruby roguelike with procedural generation and ECS
