Professional summary
Senior software engineer with eight years building payments and Open Banking platforms. I lead small teams, keep delivery predictable, and care as much about the runbook as the release.
Employment history
Senior Software Engineer, Northwind Payments
- Cut payment reconciliation from six hours to twelve minutes by replacing a nightly batch with an event-driven pipeline.
- Led Open Banking compliance across four providers, covering consent renewal, transaction deduplication and audit logging.
- Mentored three engineers through their first on-call rotation; page volume fell by half over two quarters.
Software Engineer, Harbour Systems
- Rebuilt merchant onboarding, taking median time-to-first-payment from nine days to two.
- Introduced contract tests between six services, removing the release freeze that had blocked weekly deploys.

One PDF that matches this preview exactly. One Word file deliberately plainer than it.
What the software sees
A two-column CV comes apart when it is parsed.
Sidebars, text boxes and tables read in the wrong order. Columns interleave, dates orphan from the roles they belong to, headings disappear. The document on the left is the one on the right, after screening.
So Vellum splits the job in two. A PDF typeset for a person, and a Word file stripped back for the machine. Same content, two files, one click each.

Rule
Uppercase name over an accent rule, headings underlined. The safe one — reads well through any applicant tracking system.
What you get, stated plainly.
Six things, and the real thing on the right for each one. It advances on its own, so take it over whenever.
