Over 20 years experience covering contract consulting roles such as: Technical Lead Senior Full Stack Web/JavaScript Developer Senior server side .NET Developer I have worked across a diverse range of sectors including - Energy/Commodities Trading (E.ON Energy) - Energy Retail (E.ON Energy) - Investment Banking (RBS Global Banking and Markets, Credit Suisse) - Pensions (Admin Re/Swiss Re) - Manufacturing (3D XRay/ImageScan PLC) - Digital publishing (Bauer Xcel, MMT Digital) - Retail (Next PLC) - Education (Capita SIMS, The Contact Group) - Healthcare (NHS) I have a strong track record dealing with complex system requirements in challenging situations, with minimal supervision, typically when projects have fallen behind schedule or have implementation and maintenance issues. I can help improve all aspects of software delivery using a pragmatic and commercially focused approach. I aim for the architecture appropriate to the domain, e.g. microservices, cloud or hybrid solutions, but most importantly a good fit, not just “hot” technology for the sake of it. I engage well with business stakeholders during scope investigation and requirements gathering. I can then design and estimate solutions to complex business problems and am confident in delivering well against the initial promises. A passionate supporter of Agile practices, I keenly champion their adoption for project teams and across departments when required. I can cover the critical moments of project delivery including feature branch merging, planning releases and taking responsibility for build and deployment. I can also help mentor junior and mid level developers and always evangelise good practices. Developing and designing software is a passion for me and I enjoy the challenge of staying relevant in the market. I work hard to keep up with latest industry trends but also deal well with areas of the codebase that are not shiny and new and require migration and modernisation strategies. Profile ©
