As a software architect, I know that systems work best when the parts that make them up are intelligently designed, have clearly understood responsibilities, and are integrated seamlessly.That's why I work so hard on getting things right the first time. I design systems that are robust, stable, and more importantly: maintainable, saving the company time, money, and aggravation, immediately and long into the future.And the same applies to managing people. If you get the team structure and flow right, and care about both the people and the results, you create an incredible energy that helps people feel good about what they do, develop and grow, and deliver amazing results.I have a proven record of improving the quality of both the software I work with and the teams I lead. I see it as a priority not just to ship working code, but to work towards the long term improvement and growth of the team members, through mentoring, constructive code reviews, giving classes, and empowering team members to take ownership and make decisions themselves.My broad experience across companies of all sizes, and those transitioning from startup to enterprise, makes me especially well placed to take the best of what I have learnt and apply it in the best way.My wide technical knowledge across the entire stack - architecture, backend, frontend, system, and DevOps - gives me a deep understanding of the systems and the issues that we deal with. I have an instinctive feel for technology and my solutions have proven to be valuable and effective.* Technologies: *Backend: NodeJS, C#, OO PHP (Symfony, Zend, Magento, Composer), Java, Haskell, SQL wizardryFrontend: Javascript (React, Angular, ES2015+/Webpack/Babel, Typescript)Sysops/Devops: CI/CD, cloud inc. serverless & IaC, Linux admin, PuppetDevelopment tools: Git, Jenkins, PHPunit, Behat (BDD)
