About Me

Formerly Technical Manager & Software Engineer at Coriolis Technologies & TradeSun Inc, working on innovative R&D and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) tools delivering novel insights into environmental, human, economic, social, and corporate governance risks to firms and their finance providers.

As lead developer at Coriolis Technologies my role included technical management of a cross-disciplined team focussing on R&D and software engineering in the ESG space. The scope of my role includes technical and staff management; scientific and econometric research; project management; software architecture and engineering.

Previously Technical Lead at Intelligent Mobile, working alongside a team of 5 developers who have won several awards for their work in the leisure, housing, and student accommodation sectors, including UK App Awards App of the year 2019-20, The Herald Digital Agency of the Year 2019-20, The Herald App Of The Year 2020, and Northern Dev Awards Agency of the year 2020.

I enjoy working as part of a multi-disciplinary team or as a self-directed resource. I am a skilled business analyst, and can work hands-on with the full technical stack of a project, including SQL, C#, Css/Sass, JS/TS. I have advanced skills in Dev-ops related tasks including setting up a build chain in continuous integration systems.
