In this role, I was responsible for the overall management and running of multiple development programmes that exist within our engineering and research department. This has included supporting our ongoing apprenticeship, while also initialising a new junior developer programme and an internal leadership programme to align with future business needs and support both our internal and external pipelines. I also provide technical and career mentorship to those who are on our apprenticeship and junior developer programmes, and am an active part of their management chain, which at its peak has been for over 50 people.

I ensured the start up of a new development team, including building up our Agile processes after we moved into lockdown in early 2020. I additionally helped establish the technical direction for larger roadmap items and supported the day-to-day processes of the team. I additionally dual-ran this role for six months with my previous team lead role as I upskilled my successor for that role.

I led the GUI team for a large system that was in use internationally, wherein I had to build relationships with our overseas partner. My core responsibility was in building and ensuring a technical roadmap that would tie into our oversea partner's future work and deliver against our product community. I was the key expert for the GUI in the UK for this system, which covered millions of lines of code. I also was responsible for managing the workload of a team of developers, which included a number of different contractor suppliers.

I was a software engineer on multiple projects and systems, ranging from small systems to large systems over millions of lines of code long. My core languages were Java and JavaScript (most notably AngularJS and React), though I also have some experience with Python and C. I have worked within Agile teams, and worked closely with a wide range of customers.
