ABOUT ME
Experienced Fullstack Software Engineer with teaching experience
Experienced Fullstack Software Engineer with teaching experience

Professional software contractor with experience across corporate, startup, freelance and contract roles. Hold a First Class degree in Computer Science.

My experience ranges from working on real-time, low-latency algorithmic trading software in the banking industry; to building highly-available, consumer-facing web apps in the tech startup sector.

My work over recent times has been geared towards crafting consumer-facing applications in the web development world, where user experience and broad-usage are key focuses. In this environment it is important to keep up with community developments and the ever-changing landscape of tooling available.

React is the go-to UI framework for modern-day web applications, with an ever-expanding community and development. I have worked with React since before a stable version was released and have witnessed the evolution of the framework over time through usage in several different projects. Most recently I contracted for the Trainline, working on a library of hundreds of React components that served millions of customers per week - dilligent coding standards were needed to maintain high throughput and resiliency of the web app. The application also made use of redux-observable, an RxJS-based middleware for Redux.

Node JS can be tought to get to grips with (especially when coming from an Object-Oriented language such as C# or Java) but once you are familiar with the patterns and nuances you can create some great applications. I have used the Node framework for creating several applications, including a real-time multiplayer game (communicating over sockets), a serverside backend for a portable magazine app, a complex data-driven medical service directory and more. The power of NodeJS comes in the ecosystem that surrounds it, the plethora of technologies supported by npm allow for building apps suitable for a large variety of business requirements. I have built nodes app accompanied by technologies such as: Express, Restify, Swagger, Socket.IO, Restify, JSDOM and many more.

My last contract consisted of working on a codebase built completely in Typescript. The application was hosted in a lerna monorepo, consisting of over a dozen packages. Typings were created to allow for interoperability of typings amongst packages, included more complex types for generic utlity functions. In addition to this I worked on a script to auto-generate typescript bindings for connected web APIs based on their swagger definitions.

I joined the JS consultancy, YLD, as a senior javascript developer in February 2018 and was deployed onsite to consult at Trainline for the entirety of the contract. The focus of this work was around consolidating the UK and European platforms into a Single Global Platform, as the business looked to expand into European and Global markets. Additionally I worked on the redesign of the search ‘matrix’ and ticket selection flow for the core UK audience in line with new designs. I also worked with another small, mission team to create a new service for querying the consolidated database of 120k+ stations and locations across Europe. The requirements were high resiliency, throughput, stability and multi-lingual support. This was built on AWS infrastructure: EC2, CloudSearch, Lambda.
