Delivering faster, easier, scalable and secure software solutions for start-ups, disruptors and technology companies, whilst helping make our engineering practice the best in the world.

Engineering is in my DNA, with a long history of software development, cloud-focused devops and agile practices, and I bring experience and near-limitless enthusiasm to the difficult problems facing organisations and entrepreneurs today.

As the technical team lead, I helped set the direction of the Cloud Platforms team. We provide robust and intelligent platform solutions to empower barrier-free development and innovation for our internal customers at Domain. Whilst with Domain I:

• Implemented the Kubernetes-based platform consisting of several purpose-built clusters running on EC2
• Drove a number of initiatives focused on developer experience, configuration management and “SlackOps” (self-service)
• Established regular reporting and cross-team collaboration
• Mentored and consulted with members of my team regarding best-practices for software development and devops.

Applying effective analysis, design, programming and testing skills to produce software systems, while assisting with the technical direction of projects.

As a senior software engineer and lead, I have been responsible for requirements analysis, design and implementation of distributed, cloud-based (Amazon AWS) software systems, mostly in Python. I have also line-managed four technical resources, and provided technical guidance and leadership across the life of a project.

Be agile, adaptive, technically brilliant – and deliver.

As a forward-deployed engineer, it was my job to solve “the world’s hardest problems”:

• Identify, scope and deploy sophisticated deployments
• Develop data integrations, customisations to the Palantir platform and entirely new services using the best possible technology available
• Independently break down and solve complex client problems with little direction

I have built and run a deployment all the way from the initial scoping to hardware installation, system integration, custom code and ongoing maintenance, using a combination of Java, Oracle, Elasticsearch, Cassandra and Gradle.
