What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, teamwork, and opportunities for growth.

I am a test-driven software engineer dedicated to delivering high-quality software solutions. My passion for staying on the cutting edge of technologies drives me to embrace new features and methodologies that enhance software performance and security. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can inspire my colleagues to achieve their career goals while maintaining a strong focus on professionalism and team dynamics.

In my current role as a Senior Java Engineer at William Hill, I have successfully led sessions with product owners and teams to discuss business requirements and design options, resulting in predictable, quality software. I take pride in mentoring junior engineers, helping them grow into mid-level roles, and achieving significant milestones, such as delivering a project that generated £1 million in revenue. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my 100% release success rate over the past year, which has inspired my team to adopt test-driven processes that enhance our overall performance.
