Experience.

Here are a few of the companies I have worked with.

Inugo Systems Limited January 2022 - Present

I optimized database queries, speeding them up and cutting load times by a whopping 90%. Fast and furious, just the way we like it! Teamed up with a crew of five full-stack wizards to create next-gen software, revolutionizing the old-school parking permitting system. We aimed to save trees by ditching thousands of paper permits each year. This wasn't just a local gig - we collaborated with awesome partners from the UK, Australia, the US, and New Zealand. I love helping others level up! I supported our new and junior devs, guiding them through the ropes of cool tech like caching, GraphQL, Next.js, and Node.js. Smooth onboarding and solid training are my specialties. I also stepped up as an interim team leader, holding regular reviews with a small team. This role helped me improve and develop my leadership skills, getting ready for that next big step up to a senior role.

Trail Limited January 2021 - December 2021

I worked closely with the Product Manager to implement software improvements that empowered over 400 Financial Advisers to enhance their capabilities. This collaboration ensured that our product was not only user-friendly but also effective in meeting the diverse needs of financial professionals. I took the lead in developing software sections to ensure our product complied with the latest 2021 government regulations, making it robust and reliable in a constantly evolving regulatory landscape.
Additionally, I was responsible for the build and deployment of software on a weekly basis, utilizing C#, SQL Migrations, and Azure app services. This role required a deep understanding of our tech stack to ensure seamless updates and continuous integration. By consistently delivering high-quality builds, I contributed to the overall stability and performance of our software, ensuring a smooth experience for all users.
