Hi, I'm Daniel. Senior Full-Stack Engineer.

I architect scalable enterprise systems, build AI-driven platforms, and modernize legacy workflows.

Let's chat about your project

About Me

Based in the UK, I have spent the last 17+ years architecting and developing enterprise-scale web applications. I partner with technical recruiters, digital agencies, and B2B startup founders to turn highly complex requirements into robust, beautifully performant platforms.

Whether it's modernizing legacy monoliths, architecting massive payload processing data pipelines for healthcare, or designing omnichannel eCommerce architectures, my focus is always on business impact, speed, and exceptional craft.

Core Services

Delivering senior-level engineering leadership across three distinct high-value paradigms.

Enterprise Modernization

Deconstructing legacy architectures into highly maintainable APIs, resolving database bottlenecks, and building secure, production-ready infrastructure for regulated environments.

Featured Work

Selected enterprise-grade engineering projects demonstrating scale, robust processing, and real business results.

UK Medical Diagnostics PlatformLead Technical Architect

Large-Scale Medical Image Processing Pipeline

Processing extremely large healthcare images (high-resolution NDPI formats, often multi-GBs) without causing memory exhaustion in background services, while strictly adhering to healthcare data security standards.

Architected a robust, distributed processing pipeline using Node.js and BullMQ. Implemented secure, tile-based image conversion using sharp for memory-safe processing, with efficient streaming to AWS S3, data modeled via Prisma, and strictly protected by Row Level Security (RLS).

Business Impact

Delivered a highly stable, production-ready diagnostic processing system that completely eliminated memory-leak crashes during peak upload periods, enabling healthcare professionals to seamlessly access critical high-resolution scans securely.

Real-Time AI Voice Interaction Platform

Building a fluid, natural conversational training platform that orchestrates multiple external AI models (Speech-to-Text, LLM, and Text-to-Speech) concurrently without breaking the illusion of real-time interaction.

Engineered an event-driven, low-latency gateway using TypeScript and WebSockets. Implemented dynamic audio buffer streaming and complex orchestration logic to harmonize Whisper, Gemini/OpenAI APIs, and TTS services into a single, continuous pipeline.

Business Impact

Achieved a seamless, zero-stutter human-to-AI voice experience. The robust architecture enabled the platform to support continuous, realistic training scenarios without API bottlenecking, significantly enhancing the practical learning outcomes for end-users.
