Having now been in software development for over 10 years, I have managed to gain experience in multiple industries ranging from insurance, pensions, energy, remittance and now in the housing market with Zoopla!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Over the last 3+ years I have been leading teams helping deliver great success. Some of highlights of this time includeLeading teams with developers and testers on-shore, near-shore and off-shore making sure everyone comes together to understand why we are a team and ensuring we release products of the highest qualityLine managing developers and also mentoring junior and senior developers. Helping with their careers and offering good advice. Using my experience with Agile Development to help scrum masters coach developers and people throughout the business to use Agile in the best way for the team.Always looking out for PRs across teams to help move any blockers that may be affecting the businessMaking architectural decisions on back-end apis and database against functional and non-function requirements.Coding with the teams I've lead to make sure we code to the highest standard in a good amount of timeEnsuring that working with me and being in my fun and enjoyable otherwise the rest of things listed above wouldn’t be useful-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Majority of my time has been spent coding in the Microsoft tech stack e.g C#, SQL Server, .Net Core but have done Java in the past and would like to think of myself as a polyglot when it comes to coding languages. Also I have experience using cloud infrastructure to help design microservices e.g. Blob storage, Storage account for Queues and Service buses to publish and to subscribe to events. A lot of this has been in Azure but I do have experience in AWS tooI regularly attend technology/software events I find on websites like Meetup, organise developer forums within the business and have helped with organising hackathons. All with the hope that I can help contribute to improving and adapting a business's culture for the better.
