Senior Software Engineer
London, United Kingdom
In my current role, I’m building an immigration and compliance technology platform. Several years of commercial experience across Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Next.js — platform work, APIs, and customer-facing features where the product needs them.
Hi, I'm Kelvin — a senior software engineer. In my current role, I help build an immigration and compliance technology platform. I work across Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Next.js, shipping APIs, event-driven workflows, auth flows, and real-time features. I own problems end-to-end — from data modelling and backend services to monitoring, CI/CD, and raising team standards. I hold a BSc in Computer Science.
Across recent roles I've focused on backend APIs and platform automation for enterprise and regulated environments, alongside customer-facing work in React and Next.js — things like multi-step onboarding, centralised logging, and self-service features. Earlier experience includes scalable connector-style APIs and integrations, and an on-premise compliance-oriented platform. Technically: PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, EventBridge), plus Docker, Terraform, SST, and observability with Datadog and Grafana.

A calm, native markdown writing app for macOS — write and preview side by side with live rendering, themes, diagrams, and export. Built with Electron, React, and TypeScript. Code-signed and notarized by Apple, it auto-updates itself with no backend and ships through a one-command CI/CD pipeline that builds, signs, notarizes, and publishes a universal .dmg.
Meetract transforms meeting recordings into actionable tasks. Record meetings directly in your browser (works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) or upload audio files. The app transcribes using OpenAI Whisper, then extracts action items with Claude AI. Built with a fully serverless, event-driven architecture on AWS - the API returns instantly while processing happens asynchronously in the background. Includes GDPR-compliant data deletion, Google OAuth, and smart usage limits.
CalmBud helps children manage anxiety and stress through guided exercises and AI-powered support. Kids can do breathing exercises, grounding activities, and get help reframing negative thoughts using Google's Generative AI. Includes a gamified sticker system to encourage daily use, plus a parent dashboard with insights and conversation starters. Built with React Native, serverless backend on AWS, and RevenueCat for subscriptions.
ImpactLog helps you track your daily wins and achievements. Log what you did, get AI-powered summaries, and see your growth over time. Perfect for performance reviews, career growth, or just staying motivated. Built with React, Supabase for auth/database, AWS Lambda for AI processing, and Stripe for payments.
