• Revived a dormant Python test suite by modernizing dependencies, linting, and language versions to restore reliable coverage.
• Built and deployed a Streamlit monitoring dashboard backed by a REST API for direct data querying.
• Owned CI/CD and Unix tooling for AFS services, improving day-to-day reliability and visibility.

AFS Engineering is my current team and one I'm technologically loving. Currently leading multiple projects and learning quickly in a high-impact, large-scale environment.

• Led a department-wide SSL migration across PB applications, coordinating rollout and validation.
• Built HTTP interceptors, configured load balancers, and contributed to a secure internal gateway design.
• Solely rewrote the CSS for one of our apps, expanding its usage to mobile, per MD spec.
• Worked with the desk to author a regulatory onboarding workflow guide covering our client onboarding app.

This year was defined by a large backlog of delivery and successful project management. With leadership turnover, I stepped up to run multiple initiatives, dug into infra modernisation in an otherwise UI-focused team, built strong connections across the firm to bring improvements back to the team. I shipped a high volume of production changes, often on weekends, and helped resolve multiple production outages, building a reputation for clear-headed incident response and leadership.

• Supported Morgan Stanley's FX trading platform (Matrix), resolving production issues quickly working with colleagues and traders internationally.
• Delivered full-stack Angular + Python tools automating SRE workflows.
• Modernised legacy systems with Perl to Python migrations and RHEL server upgrades.

I'll always look back at this year fondly for sparking my interest in financial markets. Watching high-vol events - from geopolitical shocks, the JPY carry-trade unwind to CPI surprises - ripple through our books and systems brought an intense pace which I genuinely enjoyed.
