About George

I design systems and write the code to back them up. No gap between architecture and implementation.
With 10+ years across full-stack development and system architecture, I help teams build and scale cloud-native platforms without needing separate architects, tech leads, and developers on the payroll. One person, full ownership, faster delivery.
My work spans backend systems, API design, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack product builds. I have led the architecture and development of enterprise-grade platforms in the telecoms and SaaS space, working with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Go, .NET, and Python on stacks running on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
What most senior engineers cannot offer: I can sit with a CTO and design the system, then go back to my desk and build it. That combination cuts coordination overhead and keeps delivery moving.
I typically take on:

Full-stack product builds from greenfield to production
System architecture for APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms
Technical leadership on short to mid-term contracts
Legacy modernisation and infrastructure overhauls
SaaS and NaaS platform development
