Summary

I joined my current company (which traditionally offered managed services/low-code solutions) in early 2021 as a junior developer. I leveraged my experience in mature development teams to shape the growth of a brand-new custom development team, and define technology and development strategies.

Fast forward to today, and I report to the board as the Principal Software Engineer. My day-to-day is spent developing solutions, collaborating with stakeholders, and leading the team to deliver digital transformation and process improvements.

From time to time, I also love getting stuck into everything else the team does. On top of my usual project work, I manage our DevOps processes, adopt coding/solution standards, design our technology stack, write internal systems and libraries, run interviews, mentor colleagues, and whatever else is needed to keep the team running smoothly.

Responsibilities

• Empowering the development team and acting as the escalation path for technical issues
