I’m a software developer with an aptitude for leading development, defining architecture and optimising processes & tools.In addition to strong development skills I have;* In-depth knowledge of the full software life cycle (from pre-sales, planning and architecture, to testing, delivery and maintenance)* Understanding of the processes and tools required to make software teams productive and output high quality, maintainable code* Understanding of how a healthy DevOps pipeline helps drive productivity and quality* Understanding of the importance of shifting security left in order to make security seamless for developers and catch vulnerabilities early in the SDLC* Experience of recruiting and leading teams to successful delivery* Experience of working on both the client side and the vendor sideI write clean, readable and maintainable code that follows best practices and believe that writing quality tests is as important as the production code. I am currently mainly working with Javascript/Typescript via node.js and React deployed to AWS, but spent many years working with Java/Kotlin on the Android platform prior to that. I have also worked with embedded C/C++ development and used other languages/platforms such as Python for smaller projects.I have also ventured into the world of DevOps where I mainly focus on strategic transformations to introduce new development toolchains, shifting security left, new team structures and new methodologies to vastly improve throughput, quality and security practices.My ideal workplace offers a collaborative environment with a culture of ownership, autonomy and a focus on the end user experience.Things that I am good at: Java/Kotlin, Android, Javascript/Typescript, Node.js, AWS, DevOps, Shifting security left, SAST/SCA, GitHub/GHAS, API design, Concurrency / Multi-threading, Application architecture, Git, Continuous Integration, Code reviews, Automated testing, Requirements analysis, Technical communication, Technical documentation.
