I believe that in this day and age all businesses are technology businesses, weather they realize it or not. To thrive as a successful tech company requires quality people, practices in order to foster a culture of success, leading to competitive advantage.I strive to enhance productivity, innovation and agility within the business through the application of business and technical practices. I promote the focus of fast learning cycles and innovation required to evolve valuable software quickly and with confidence.I'm an engineer at heart and am passionate about building elegant solutions to complex problems and seeing these through from concept to products of value.I thrive in complexity and dealing with the unknown, this is where creativity backed by experience leads to innovation.I am a developer advocate and strive to ensure teams have the tools and processes suited to their needs so that they can collaborate and be the best version of themselves. Happy people lead to happy teams that do their best work fostering a culture of success.I enjoy collaboration and working in teams, leading by example and apply an product based entrepreneurial lens to what i do.PAST EXPERIENCEHaving been involved in the Engineering and IT industry for some time I have experience in many areas of the industry. From electronic circuit board design and embedded systems, to real time distributed automation at scale, to cloud based serverless business processing systems and many more in-between.I've been involved in startups and currently am involved as a co-founder of an IoT business that we are fostering.This has really taught me lean and the value of evolutionary design as we strive to become the most relevant we can with limited resources.I believe delivery is paramount and have been described in the past by some of my co-workers as "too delivery focused".While clients I have helped have come to me in retrospect and commented "I get it now".If we're not delivering value, what are we doing.THE TECHRecently I've been working with a variety of New Zealand and Australian companies preaching what we practice:- Agile Software Development including; pair programming- Test driven design- Evolutionary product development/architecture- Automated testing- Continuous integration, continuous delivery/DevOps Technologies we rely on heavily:- Typescript/NodeJS, .NET- Docker- AWS, Serverless , Kafka, KMS, Dynamo etc.- Terraform / Terragrunt / Localstack- Domain Driven Design- Azure, Functions, Cosmos, EventHub etc.
