First SWE role.Building and securing Python SDKs and microservice deployment infrastructure.Designed and built Ed25519 signed DRM tooling, telemetry, analytics, and authorised distribution tools to enable go-to-market for a financial simulation SDK in Python. Assured CI/CD procedures securing proprietary knowledge and source security when distributing that SDK.Moved to core infrastructure team after 4 months, building skills with Kafka, Kubernetes and Helm.- Established dev/prod environment separation, with CI/CD pipelines to guarantee the code running in any environment is identifyable and discoverable. Demonstrating the reliability and regression control advantages drove much greater CI uptake and environment separation across the company.- Sustained ~85% test coverage on the Licensing service, providing living documentation and regression protection, enabling safe iteration with new team members and following handover.- Integrated `pip install` driven Python SDK distribution with centralised authorisation system.- Contributed to 10x improvement in infrastructure service launch speed.Performance review feedback:- Exceptional code quality

It seemed that once you have constructed the game for one player, then duplicating that game object should be relatively easy. - Native JavaScript, HTML and CSS. - Object oriented approach with Agile. Created per-iteration wireframes, an MVP of single player tetris, then duplicated the player object to add additional players and game fields to the DOM. - Responsive to size adjustment and mobile, whilst retaining square spaces. - Re-definable controls, extendable to all players. Local storage for hiscores. - Re-sizeable play grid, custom tetrominos via Modal.

- Lead a diverse cross-functional CYF external contract team to build and release an MVP in 3 weeks, then iterate that new digital product. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/codeyourfuture_thank-you-amnesty-international-for-your-activity-6741637375958642688-So8Q/ - Support engineers, designers and domain experts to meet client requirements. - Establish Agile ways of working and support the team to learn how to work in an agile fashion. - Write user stories and collaborate with engineers to refine down to workable tickets. - Negotiate client requirements, design user tests and experiments, refine results into prioritisations. - Engage designers and engineers to deliver the best, most practical outcome.
