I’ve been developing software professionally for over 10 years after graduating from university with a degree in computer science. I’ve built up a wide array of skills using technologies across the full stack during this time. For most of my career I have been leading small teams of developers on a range of different projects, though primarily C# APIs and SQL Server back-end technologies with Angular and Typescript client apps.
