Hi, I'm Remy. I enjoy building software, working with cloud technologies, and figuring out how systems fit together. My interests include AWS, DevOps, infrastructure automation, functional programming, and full-stack development, and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn something new and take on interesting challenges. When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me out on the trails mountain biking, exploring new places, playing football, attending music concerts, or out with a camera doing street photography.

AWS Resume Project | AWS, S3, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Terraform, GitHub Actions | 2026
Designed and deployed a serverless cloud-hosted resume application using S3 and CloudFront for secure, globally distributed static website hosting. Implemented a visitor counter API with API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB to provide dynamic functionality without managing servers. Provisioned and managed AWS infrastructure using Terraform as Infrastructure as Code and automated deployments through GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. Configured CloudFront Origin Access Control (OAC) to secure S3 content and leveraged AWS managed services to deliver a scalable, highly available, and cost-effective solution.
Moive-DB | React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions | 2026
Designed and deployed a full-stack movie platform featuring JWT-based authentication, watchlists, and TMDB API integration. Built a containerised microservice architecture (frontend, backend, PostgreSQL) orchestrated via Kubernetes with Terraform-defined infrastructure. Implemented CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate Docker builds and deployments to Kubernetes via GitHub Container Registry. Enabled secure stateless authentication using JWT and configured internal Kubernetes service discovery for backend communication.
Distributed Job Queue | Go | 2026
Designed and implemented a distributed asynchronous job processing system supporting horizontal scaling across multiple worker nodes. Built REST APIs for job submission and lifecycle management, with visibility timeouts, retry policies, and failure recovery mechanisms. Ensured reliable task execution under worker failure scenarios using distributed coordination and state tracking.
High-Performance Distributed Key-Value Store (Redis-like) | Rust, Tokio | 2026
Built an asynchronous in-memory key-value store using Rust and Tokio, supporting concurrent clients with lock-free request handling. Implemented TTL-based key expiration, data sharding strategy, and efficient concurrency primitives for high throughput. Achieved ~100k requests/sec in custom benchmarking under concurrent load.
Event-Driven Order Processing Platform | Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker | 2026
Designed and implemented a distributed event-driven order processing system using Kafka consumer groups. Implemented retry and dead-letter queue (DLQ) handling with safeguards against duplicate order creation during message reprocessing. Used PostgreSQL for persistence and Docker for local multi-service deployment.
Numerical Quadrature Optimisation | Python
Developed a novel numerical quadrature method by reformulating integration as an optimisation problem and applying an alternating descent conditional gradient algorithm.
Algorithmic Trading | Python
Developed and evaluated multiple trading strategies on simulated stock data, analysing performance and profitability across different market conditions.
Pain Data Analysis | R
Analysed relationships between pain scores and biomarker levels using statistical analysis and data visualisation techniques.
TV Show Performance Prediction | Python, Machine Learning
Applied machine learning models to predict a television show's final episode performance using historical viewing and rating data.
3D Graphics Engine | C++, OpenGL
Developed an interactive 3D scene featuring real-time rendering, animations, dynamic lighting, and user-controlled objects.
Fitness App | Java, Android, SQLite
Developed an Android fitness tracking application with GPS route tracking, activity tracking with state persistence, and statistical analysis stored in a SQLite database.
Compiler | Haskell
Implemented a compiler for the MiniTriangle language including lexical, syntax and semantic analysis with code generation in Haskell.
Flappy Bird AI | ClojureScript, Reagent
Built a browser-based Flappy Bird game where a neural network learned to play autonomously using visual game data and real-time training.
