Coming from a background in developing large scale multi user applications for the NHS, where software and database performance are key, I gained a lot of knowledge in the area of SQL optimisation and writing clean, fast executing code. From there I moved to a startup company, Mindwork Labs, where I was able to transfer my knowledge of database optimisation and where I served as CTO. I managed all technical teams, was in charge of all development, SDS/FDS creation and making sure everything got done on time.I then moved on to a Senior Java Dev/Tech Lead role at BrightTALK where I am responsible for developing and maintaining various Spring APIs, and lead a team dedicated to abstracting and improving the existing data layer, using standard RDBMS, doc store, and Big Data solutions.Specialties: Amazon RedShift, Pentaho, Java Development, Spring, MySQL, SQL Server, PHP, Automation, Data Migration, Application Design, Web Application Design, MVC, TDD, Problem Solving
