\maketitle
A software engineer with 6+ years experience primarily developing
high-availability web applications for businesses, often using Python
and JavaScript. 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. Haskell and FP
remain influential and encouraged me to learn Haskell proper as well as
study Category Theory in my spare time.
\end{itemize}}\\
2016 &{\bf Liberal Democrats - Software Engineer (Contact)}\\
