Over a decade of experience within JPMorgan with a variety of business-focussed technical roles has given me the advantage of exposure to different ways of working, different approaches to providing solutions and implementation of ideas for increased resilience and improved performance. Regarded as a ‘go-to’ expert for a number of products and the driving force for technical documentation and training. I have substantial experience in technical aspects of the investment banking environment.Though mainly involved on supporting applications which requires the usual Unix / Linux / SQL skill set I also have some background in application development which has enabled me to provide an additional element of code debugging and more in-depth investigation than would usually be expected of the role.
