I'm a full-stack developer, based in Manchester. I have more than two years of experience working in professional agile environments. My first year of experience was at E.On UK, where I worked with Typescript & React to refine their customer journey and generate leads in their existing web application and decision engine.

Between placements, I was keen to stay sharp and stepped up as lead developer, building an internal CRA application. This required me to step up as a leader, while also flexing my knowledge of full-stack application development. I then moved on to my next placement at Virgin Media/O2, where I specialized as an automation engineer, creating a full stack web application with Django (Python) to optimize the task of uploading firmware to the VMO2 devices for the wider team. I then took on more responsibility in an existing back-end project working with Java and Spring Boot in an effort to automate the testing of networking devices, at the same time being the key point of contact for the 3rd party inventory management software for the lab.

I'm extremely passionate about what I do, and to that extent I also do a lot of development towards personal pet projects. I like exploring publicly available APIs to see how I can use my skills to interact with the world beyond my means. I'm an avid VIM enthusiast, so of course I spend a lot of time trying to perfect my Neovim config.

As well as my software experience, I'm also an experienced Mechanical Engineer, and I've started my own small business. In a potential role, I'm looking for the opportunity to work towards my long term goal of becoming a senior, full-stack developer, in an organization that is climate conscious and community focused.
