Dogs!
Hi! Thanks for reading this far. A little about me:
I am ambitious and focused on writing quality software that makes a positive contribution in the world. Professionally, I like to get things done, both as a collaborator and individual contributor. Socially, I'm quiet, relaxed and make use of New Zealand's renowned dry wit. Technology excites and drives me: keeping my brain busy with challenges and new learnings is important to my professional and personal growth.
Elixir has been a technology passion for me for 5 years now, and I would like to align its use with working on a product that makes the world better.
I love dogs and sim racing.
Consulting work - progressing from individual contributor to senior developer and team lead over 6 years. Included a 18 months stint working remotely in Calgary, Canada.
Lead a time of 5-7 developers with a strong focus on professional continuous improvement, happy project placement and wellbeing.
Contributed to a successful 4 year digital transformation project for Land Improvement Corporation NZ as both an individual contributor and technical lead - paving the way for significant business capacity increases. Using Elixir, Phoenix, GraphQL and AWS.
