The kit
The short version
I'm a software developer with ten years of experience shipping scalable, user-friendly applications.
My work sits between product and infrastructure. I'm comfortable taking a vague brief, turning it into a working system, and keeping it healthy in production. I've done that for ministries collecting fisheries data across four countries, for UK fleet operators counting parking minutes, and for schools running every classroom on a single database.
I'm looking for a challenging environment where I can keep learning and growing as a developer.
