About
Senior Ruby on Rails Developer with over 9 years of experience working across public, private and non-profit sectors for a diverse range of organisations including UN Environment, BOXT, Kier, and the UK Government.
My achievements include taking technical lead on the redevelopment of a charity grant matching platform, reducing code complexity compared to the MVP by 60%, as well as hosting costs from £1000 p/m to £50p/m. I also played a crucial role in developing IBAT, a tool used by the likes of BP and Shell for environmental risk assessments utilising extensive geospatial biodiversity data.
As a developer, I focus on writing clean maintainable code, as well as being pragmatic about shipping features while keeping a manageable and stable product. I’m passionate about learning and have experience with mentoring and a strong practical knowledge of architecting software of all shapes and sizes.
