Senior dev specialising in clean, maintainable code and keeping tech debt low

I'm a full-stack Rails developer (although recent projects have concentrated on API-only backends with ReactJS front ends managed by different teams). I've been working with Rails for over 10 years (since version 3.x) and have specialised in making code bases that are easy for teams to read, understand and maintain. Key to those goals are: using standardised code styles (ensuring RuboCop and the team's practices are perfectly aligned) writing well-structured, easy-to-understand and fast tests constructive and collaborative code reviews ensuring documentation, from git histories to READMEs and other materials (online and offline) records useful, meaningful information that can be easily kept up to date and in sync with any code changes I've recently been adding GraphQL to my skill set, which also includes PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, Redis and other languages (Swift, PHP, JavaScript, and more). On the front end, I have experience both with Rails' native toolset and with ReactJS, Next.js and React Native. I also have experience of platform-native toolsets such as SwiftUI to deliver applications that feel intrinsically like part of the user’s mobile experience. I've worked on projects of various sizes, from scheduling and booking software for a major tech training company to systems allowing TV distributors to sell thousands of hours of programming all over the world. Ideally, I'm looking to work on products with which I can feel personally invested – an exciting product or tech-for-good project would definitely suit me better than a fintech role.

Software Engineer

As a developer, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, creativity, and a passion for problem-solving to every project I undertake. My journey into the world of software development began with a deep curiosity for understanding how technology shapes our daily lives. From tinkering with code in my spare time to pursuing formal education in computer science, I have continually sought to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. One recent milestone that stands out is leading the development of a scalable web application for a prominent client, which received rave reviews for its intuitive user experience and robust performance. This accomplishment not only showcased my ability to deliver high-quality solutions but also demonstrated my commitment to exceeding client expectations. I am constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow, whether it's diving into a new programming language or mastering the latest development frameworks. Recently, I delved into the world of machine learning, exploring its potential applications in enhancing user interactions and streamlining business processes. What truly sets me apart as a developer is my ability to translate complex technical concepts into user-friendly solutions that drive value for both businesses and end-users. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging my strong communication skills to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders and ensure project success. At the core of my work is a deep-seated passion for leveraging technology to create positive change. Whether it's developing sustainable solutions to address climate change or building innovative tools to empower marginalized communities, I am driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact through my work.
