Backend Engineer | Open-Source Contributor | Technical Writer | Python & Decentralised Systems

Python Developer at LinkedTrust

Open to:Contract roles

Backend Engineer with experience contributing to decentralised identity standards, open-source digital identity protocols, and backend system design. I have contributed to the DIF LinkedClaims Companion Guide and open-source projects including Aries CloudAgent Python (ACA-Py) and GoodDollar, with publicly reviewed and merged contributions.

I have worked on backend architecture and algorithm implementation for emerging platforms, including HealthDocx, where I supported product delivery by translating requirements into backend workflows and system logic, and BallDraft, where I served as Lead Backend Developer, contributing to core backend services and algorithmic processing.

In addition to engineering work, I publish technical articles on decentralised systems, fraud prevention, and backend engineering, aimed at supporting developers and practitioners working with emerging technologies. My work has been recognised through invited technical talks and academic awards, reflecting a trajectory toward deeper technical leadership and contribution within the digital technology ecosystem.
