Senior software engineer at Independent, building secure REST services and automating clinical data analysis for client projects.

United Kingdom

Message

At Independent, I own client projects end to end, from requirements and specifications through testing, production, and support. I’ve built secure REST services in Go and C# and R packages that automate clinical data analysis.

At Edge10 Group, I maintained ASP.NET MVC applications and their SQL and CouchDB stores. I also built anonymisation libraries in R and shell for processing athlete records under GDPR.

At Reed.co.uk, I worked on Jobseeker, Instant Alerts, and Recruiter, products serving 3 million users a month. I delivered an NLP chatbot and improved monitoring, reducing incident response time by 20%.

Earlier, I developed C# and ASP.NET software for aerospace manufacturing projects at Blacklight Software and took BTL Group Ltd’s e-assessment software to full automated test coverage. I’m a Certified ScrumMaster who values clear processes, version control, and good documentation.
