Hi! Kurtis here πŸ‘‹


I’m a Backend Java Engineer (Spring Boot) with 4+ years building distributed systems in banking, working across complex multi-environment and multi-brand platforms that handle millions of requests daily πŸš€

πŸ‘ΆπŸ½ My programming journey started in sixth form after a teacher encouraged me to try computing, and she was absolutely right. Since then, coding has become both a craft and a creative outlet for me.

πŸ› οΈ Outside work, I build projects that stretch me into product and frontend thinking. One recent example is a popup-first Chrome extension for saving Substack posts offline, built with React, TypeScript, Vite, and a tested workflow (Vitest + Playwright-style validation). It’s taught me a lot about user-centered UX, reliability, and iterating quickly without losing engineering rigor.

✍🏽 I write personal reflections on Substack and professional lessons on Medium.

πŸ“š I’m currently exploring vibe coding, experimenting with coding agents/tools, and learning more web frameworks (especially React and Astro) as I build toward a writing-focused website of my own.

🀝 I’m always up for writing/community connections and thoughtful collaborations.

πŸ™‹πŸ½ Ask me about Open Banking, CI/CD, observability, and practical software engineering.
