Lead or Staff Engineer

I'm an experienced, delivery focused full-stack leader and engineer. I've worked in a number of verticals, including Finance, Retail, and Government and also dipped my toes into the startup world, participating in a startup accelerator program's Founders Fellowship in 2022.

Technically, I have experience across the stack and can build and implement features end to end.

From an interface perspective, I've architected and built systems with React, Next, Tailwind, and Storybook.

Further down the stack, I've architected systems with event-driven, microservice, and headless architectures that use REST, GraphQL, and RPC. I've used Apollo and am familiar with Federation, Subgraphs, and optimisation with DataLoader. I've built with with AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, and Vercel. I've worked with BigCommerce and Hybris ecommerce platforms and Contentful, Strapi, and Payload CMS Systems.

I value effective team building through setting strong technical direction, effective communication, and thoughtful organisation. I've helped improve delivery and improved team health, cycle time, and velocity through ways of working. I also have hands-on experience with governance and CAB processes.

I'm both experienced and excited by the use of AI to enable development and have experience using and optimising Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex. I'm particularly interested in stepping into a founding engineer or engineering management role.
