As of 2021, I'm looking for ethical and sustainable +opportunities within the software industry. The current business models +of technical surveillance are quite disillusioning. I am open to working +with all sectors but particularly the green and renewable sector, +communications and audio. I wish to expand my technical acumen, be a +part of interesting projects and make a difference. + +\section{Technical Skills} +C/Python/JS/Haskell/Kotlin/SQL/{\LaTeX } Programming. | Refactoring | +USB Rev.Eng. | API Design | Frontend Dev | UNIX/Linux Systems | Protocol +Knowledge (HTTP, SMTP, USB in particular) + +\section{Professional Experience} +\begin{tabular}{L!{\VRule}R} + 2021- &{\bf Magentasoft - Founder/Contractor}\\ + &{\begin{itemize} + \item I'm currently taking on contract work for clients such as YLD. + \end{itemize}}\\ + + 2017--2020 &{\bf Co-op Digital - Senior Software Engineer}\\ + &{\begin{itemize} + \item Joined the Digital Engineering department within +the HQ of The Co-operative Group in 2017. + \item Cross-functional, agile teams. + \item Moved into senior role, mentoring engineers and +presenting ideas at the monthly all-teams sessions. + \item Leant towards back-end API development: championed +refactoring and local architectural design of complex REST/SOAP +integrations as well as being a voice for security across Digital. + \item Largely Python, JavaScript, SQL with Django and +React often providing development frameworks. + \item I were also lucky enough to participate in +\href{https://xpsurgery.com/}{Kevin Rutherford's XP Surgery} as well as +\href{https://www.weareupfront.com/}{Lauren Currie's Upfront workshop}. +These are software craftmanship and public speaking workshops +respectively. + \end{itemize}}\\ + + 2016--2017 &{\bf Beautiful Destinations - Software + Engineer (Contract)}\\ + &{\begin{itemize} + \item Towards the end of 2016 I were hired by a +Shoreditch based startup working in the travel and tourism marketing +industry. + \item Working alongside some very experienced engineers, +I were responsible for making machine learning code production ready +(testing, QA, refactoring); setting up build/test/deploy pipelines; +containerizing releases with Docker etc. + \item I also were introduced into Haskell as this was +used heavily for creating type-safe front/backends.
