I am proud to call Blackmagic Design my new home. Working with the best software engineers I know has taught me so much, and I hope to continue to learn much more.

This role involved self-driven work, ranging from developing tooling and optimising SQL queries to mentoring the junior developer on the team. I implemented features that increased revenue, reduced costs, and reduced risk.

During this time I continued to work on my passion projects, involving software development from scratch in C, including:- HTTPS web server- Hardware simulator (from nand gates to software)- Video games- Drum machine (sampler), with plans to turn it into a full digital audio workstation (DAW)

I consulted for my previous employer Gigafy. This work included both maintenance and new features for Gigafy's network management device map system and Google maps integration.

I was a full-stack developer using VB.NET, JavaScript, TSQL and C++ to build several user-facing and internal portals for Gigafy (an ISP). I designed, implemented, tested and deployed features, bug-fixes and refactors.Highlights include:"What-you-see-is-what-you-get" HTML page designer for WiFi hotspot pagesMAC-Telnet Windows port (Linux sockets to winsock2) for batch upgrading routersDB-driven text preprocessor with variable replacement, conditional logic and control flow (for router/switch scripts and end-user notifications)Meta-program to generate model, view and controller code for “blades” UI (using DB schema as input)Database-driven custom dashboard and reports for WiFi management portalDatabase-driven reseller settings and white-labelling for WiFi management portalPayment gateway integrations (Stripe, Braintree, IPPay, AuthorizeDotNet)Network environment management map system (JS, HTML5 canvas)Google maps integrationI took pride in writing tools to automate my colleagues' (network engineers, level 1 and 2 support, sales) workflows, and enjoyed being a piece of the puzzle in creating new products.

I implemented new features for a customer-facing website and fixed bugs. I used the following tools, frameworks and services:PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, Vim, Laravel, Angular, AWS.
