\maketitle
A software engineer of 8 years with a passion for delivering business results
though software.

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 a lack of support
regarding deployment pipelines and infrastructure as well as a lack of
experience with the test-first approach. Perhaps this sounds familiar for your
company?

\section{Technical Skills}
C/Python/JS/Haskell/Kotlin/SQL/{\LaTeX} | TDD | Refactoring | Build Systems |
Infrastructure-as-Code | Deployment Pipelines | AWS | API Design | Frontend Dev
| UNIX/Linux Systems | Protocol Knowledge (HTTP, SMTP, USB in particular)

\section{Professional Experience}
\begin{tabular}{L!{\VRule}R}

	2022- &{\bf Klima.Metrix GmbH - Senior Software Engineer}\\
	&{\begin{itemize}
		\item Joined Klima.Metrix: a carbon accounting startup.
        \item Introduced and champtined a trunk-based, test-driven approoch to reduce deployment frequency to <1 week.
        \item Refactored legacy calculation code with BDD style tests that stakeholders can understand and give feedback on
        \item Deprecated MongoDB backend service to reduce technical debt and to take advantage of the existing relational DB. Created custom tooling to make this easier
        \item OWASP top 10-based security audit + fixes
        \end{itemize}}\\

	2021- &{\bf Contract work (Magentasoft Ltd)}\\
	&{\begin{itemize}
		\item Contract work with YLD and Uphold
        \item 50/50 consuting dev role
      \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 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)}\\
