Hey, I'm Patrick!

...and this is my personal website.

It's a project that is constantly changing and being fine tuned. I've completed a BSc in Data Science and Computing at Birkbeck, and I'm joining King's College London in September to study MSc Computational Finance.

I've gained hands-on experience across backend engineering, data engineering, and production software delivery, working across real environments and personal projects.

In production I've shipped backend systems using Node.js, Express, and TypeScript, building and maintaining REST APIs, handling integrations, and working across PostgreSQL databases, including independently executing a full migration from a legacy WordPress system, redesigning the schema and writing custom data transformation scripts from scratch.

I have also designed and deployed ETL pipelines in Python, containerised with Docker and running on Google Cloud Functions, with CI/CD automated through GitHub Actions.

On the side, I'm building a radar simulation and aerial object detection system in C++ and Python.

What I like to do in my spare time

Yes, LeetCode. A seemingly integral part of every aspiring developer's life 🤷‍♂️

I have a constant building list of LeetCode solutions here with crispy comments and O(1) wherever possible.

Skills and Experience

I've gained hands-on experience across backend engineering, data engineering, and production software delivery, working across real environments and personal projects.

On the backend, I've built and shipped scalable APIs using Node.js, Express, and NestJS, with databases ranging from PostgreSQL to Firestore. I've integrated Stripe for payment workflows including order capture, cancellation, and refunds, and handled auth flows with JWT and rate limiting.

I've designed and deployed ETL pipelines in Python using Docker and Google Cloud Functions, automated CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, and managed full database migrations, including transforming legacy WordPress data into clean PostgreSQL schemas.

On the frontend, I've built full-stack applications with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS, optimising for performance through SSR, parallel fetching, and query tuning. I have also worked with ML tools like PyTorch and scikit-learn, and enjoy tackling low-level problems in C++ and Python.

Alongside all of this, I'm currently developing a stealth product, building it end to end, from architecture and database design to auth, core workflows, and performance optimisation.
