I am an inspirational Software Engineering leader who builds, scales and empowers engineering teams. I have detailed knowledge of SDLC, especially agile and have implemented and scaled processes to improve software delivery and quality. Despite being in a leadership role, I have always maintained some hands-on experience to help me understand the challenges my teams face, and to be a better mentor for them. On my most recent project I worked directly on the Unionpoint Portal, building a proof of concept in ASP.NET Core (running on AWS Elastic Beanstalk) with a React front end. I then designed and built the entire front end using React to get the first two versions into production before handing over to a full-time developer.I am currently leading the engineering team that is building the new Deltek Unionpoint product that enables better integration between Deltek products, between Deltek and 3rd party products and also enables our customer citizen integrators to build their own integrations. We are a cross functional team covering API connectors, integrations as well as cloud hosted web applications.I have experience leading teams working on multiple projects across technologies including SQL Server, MySql, .NET Framework, .NET Core, EntityFramework, C#, C++, Ruby on Rails, WPF, HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, CanJS, Angular and React. Platforms include IIS, Windows, Android and iOS as well as SaaS using AWS (most recently Elastic Beanstalk and Aurora).During my career I have built and led a number of teams and departments, including co-located teams. I have worked across several industries and within many sizes of businesses. Throughout all of this I have maintained a passion for helping to grow people and teams whilst maintaining focus on company goals, product quality and bottom line.I have a passion for software development and code in my spare time to keep up to date with technology; most recently including ASP.NET Core with Blazor, C++ within Adobe Photoshop and have dabbled with Python.
