I am an experienced Senior Software Developer and SCRUM Master, who has lead multidisciplinary technical teams in the past few years and have returned to my technical roots, now with a developing interest in DevOps culture and practice.

I'm an advocate for Agile Development and how this can be used to deliver close to the needs of a user.

I recently took a leap of faith and started working in open source tech in unix/mac environments, with my current role.

This has really paid off, and now learning about shiny new tech and getting to grips with older but reliable tools, which can only be a good thing!

I try to keep a finger on the pulse of new developments, where possible. However, my first aim is to always deliver high quality working software, that a customer wants, using the right tools for the job.

My long term goal is to become a Technical Architect and software consultant, using agile practices.

Business areas worked in the past: Supply-Chain Modelling and Planning, Energy and Gas Sector (e-commerce and credit & risk), Gas & Power Deal Trading systems, custom API development, Delivery/Warehousing Systems, public sector. Experienced with Multi-Tier, Database, Microservice, and ETL Development experience. Team Lead and Scrum Master experience.

Now working in open source on government projects.

Any sponsorship will help towards additional training in the more open-source tech I now work with, and with enhancing my DevOps skills in AWS and other related technologies. Also looking to switch to GoLang too!
