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.
