\maketitle
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.55\textwidth}
A software engineer of 8 years with a passion for delivering business result
though software. Often utilizing test-first, iterative development.
There's a lot of waste in our industry and we need to become better at building
the right thing, and delivering it faster. Iterative development alongside
techniques such as TDD, pair-programming can often unlock a lot of value, yet
teams have struggled to implement this properly due to alack of support
regarding deployment pipelines and infrastructure; a lack of experience with the
test first approach and communication gaps. Perhaps this sounds like a familar
experience in your company?

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.

\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 Learnt Haskell/GHCJS as this was used heavily for enforcing
type-safety across the front-add-back end. Haskell and FP remain influential
