As a tech team lead and AWS-certified solutions architect, I sculpt dream SAAS concepts into reality. While my foundation is technical, my passion is fostering human relationships. I can bring the best out of a team to build a scalable software service that aligns with company strategies and requirements.With 15 years’ experience in software development, my specialty is refactoring legacy systems to be scalable and resilient. I can easily see all the moving parts of a project or deploy. Anticipating each snag and solution helps me guide teams towards accurate development and implementation milestones, balancing effort and risk.This big-picture thinking has placed me in a unique position to empower teams, grow startups, and expand established companies. I do this by improving processes, enhancing culture, and streamlining tools. I can keep a team happily working with efficiency and effectiveness, which is the heart of any successful company.One of my strongest technical team lead accomplishments was for the monolithic MyDesktop CRM. I planned and implemented a large-scale migration and decoupling of intertwined services, even through COVID-19. Staying proactive and motivating the team kept the company moving forward during an uncertain time.Working as a freelance iOS app developer sharpened my ability to generate and strategise most cloud-based solutions. This experience also helped me provide invaluable exposure to the entire software development lifecycle. My nine-year stint as a developer for a rapidly growing real estate software company taught me to utilise the best parts of the Agile methodology. I had to come up with quick, adaptable solutions to a myriad of scaling issues, browser security upgrades, pen-testing remediation, and incident recovery and investigation.I am an avid lover of audiobooks, a quiet beer (or several loud ones), a tech futurist dreamer, and I won't go easy on you if we bust out a board game.
