What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an opportunity to apply my technical proficiency, leadership skills, and interest in innovation to contribute to a dynamic team and help drive forward-thinking projects.

At Hargreaves Lansdown, I worked on an advanced investing API and onboarding journey, and implemented AWS infrastructure and a data pipeline.

At GDS, I worked on backend identity verification and processing, as well as frontend journeys that let users prove their identity.

At Pogoseat, I implemented a Node.js API and SMS bot with Dialogflow integration so fans could buy tickets by text. I also worked on ticketing integrations and a dashboard.

Across roles at Equals group, Virgin Media business, Giffgaff, The Mill and other teams, I've worked on APIs, microservices, migrations and web applications using Node.js, Java, PHP and React.
