I'm a software engineer by trade based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. I've worked with huge brands such as NHS, LloydsDirect, Nigella Lawson, Crown Worldwide as well as smaller startups helping build and manage teams that can effectively deliver ideas from paper to screen.I'm interested in bringing my experience to businesses who have a great idea, are passionate about it and need someone to 'lead the way' in implementation. I'm not just a manager; with 15+ years of experience as an engineer, getting my hands dirty in the code is second nature.

I worked directly with a business development manager for a small startup to build an innovative new tool for the global relocation industry. We worked closely together over a number of years identifying customer pain points and iterating on the product. Eventually with enough polish and iterations we had prospective buyers interested in buying the business. Crown Worldwide purchased the business and I helped integrate the software into their existing IT infrastructure.

I acted as the early-stage technical partner for Nigella and her Pabulum team define the product direction and execution of Foodim, the food-based social media app. The app is designed and built with performance as a number one priority. Instant scalability was key.This wasn't a small app to be used by a handful of users; the scale to which this would grow would be huge and the software had to handle that. As Lead Backend Developer it was my responsibility to ensure that the software was built to scale and that the team were able to deliver on the ambitious roadmap.Foodim runs from a lightweight Laravel application API and has a native Swift iOS application built in collaboration with Ben Dodson.
