My career has focused on improving organisational productivity. I have a genuine interest in enabling people to work smarter with technology, increasing productivity without wasting valuable time and energy. I bring a strategic mindset, being adept at identifying bottlenecks in the development lifecycle and implementing solutions that drive efficiency. I have a track record of reducing cost and meeting deadlines without sacrificing product quality.My passion is integrating software development with the needs of the organisation, not only in terms of products delivered but how the development team connects with the business. I am empathic, encouraging and use my people-management and team-empowerment skills to ensure projects succeed. I act as a liaison between IT and non-technical stakeholders, at all levels, ensuring clear communication and alignment for successful project delivery.I have deep expertise in AI for software analytics, having invented patented techniques to rapidly identify problematic code within complex products. I can provide high-level executive oversight and/or low-level technical code quality assurance for any programming language, technology stack or business domain.I am drawn to opportunities that align with my passion for improving software delivery via collaboration and engagement with the business. It’s not about code, it’s about people.𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀• Founded a start-up to meet the needs of major international insurance companies, growing the business to £1m t/o per year, with the venture remaining profitable for 12 years until sale of technical capital.• Aligned technology strategy with business goals, resulting in 30% increase in operational efficiency by leveraging software automation.• Awarded UK Government's Research and Development Relief award for Innovation in software development, qualifying for £25K reimbursement of in-house development tooling costs.• Delivered considerable cost savings and control to clients by replacing outsourced legacy systems, with internal bespoke developments, e.g., reduced CMGL’s costs by 65% saving £1m in licencing fees year-on-year.• Invented statistically significant techniques to improve developer code quality, executive project oversight and business/IT team cohesion.• Awarded the University of Essex Honorary Executive Fellowship and Fellow of the British Computer Society (FBCS), acknowledging a material contribution within the field of software development.
