At GlobalLogic UK&I, I led the migration of the Gov.ie public sector website’s 100k+ pages to Wagtail CMS, improving performance, maintainability, and editorial workflows. I also designed automated testing frameworks for CI/CD and took part in code reviews and pair programming to onboard and mentor new team members.

At the Department of International Trade, I led Wagtail CMS development and worked on Django and Django REST Framework microservices. I also contributed to code reviews, pair programming, and automated testing.

Earlier, at University College London, I worked on web applications and, as Acting Web Development Manager, served as technical lead for critical CMS projects and looked after a team of five. My work across web projects has included Python, Django, and open-source platforms such as Wagtail, Plone, and Zope.
