<h2>About me</h2>
<p>
I am a <em>product engineer</em> with 15+ years of professional
experience building web and mobile applications across various
architectures in cloud and serverless environments.
</p>
<p>
I have a proven track record assembling and
<em
>managing happy, cohesive and high-performing engineering
teams</em
>. I’ve grown into a manager in progressive people-first companies,
and I have experience making good teams great.
</p>
<p>
I love
<em>building tools to make teams and developers more effective</em>.
</p>
<p>
I believe in <em>fostering communities</em> online and offline. I
speak at conferences, run meetups, teach workshops, and contribute
to open source software projects.
</p>
<p>
Most importantly I do my best to be a decent, empathetic
<em>human being</em> who’s fun to work with. In my free time I
perform improv and stand-up comedy, write fiction, and pursue other
creative endeavours.
</p>
</section>
<section id="about-you">
<h2>About you</h2>
<p>
You are a <em>mission-driven product company</em> with an ethical
business model. You’re most likely in consumer products or
development tooling space.
</p>
<p>
You value
<em>diversity, inclusion and your employees’ autonomy</em>. You care
about the <em>social and human impact</em> of your product, and
understand that user needs are as important as business goals, if
not more so.
</p>
<p>You’re based in <em>London</em> or fully <em>remote</em>.</p>
</section>
<section id="what-i-can-do-for-you" class="page-break-after">
<h2>What I can do for you</h2>
<p>
I've traveled down both management and technical tracks, and now I
am primarily interested in
<em>senior individual contributor</em> roles, or
<em>technical leadership</em> roles with a strong hands-on
development component. Here are some of the things I can do for you.
</p>
<p>
<em>Architect and implement</em> modern, high-quality web and mobile
applications and backend systems, combining good programming
practices and latest tools and technologies.
</p>
<p>
Apply Design Thinking and Agile Software Engineering methodologies
to <em>run the product development lifecycle</em> from conception to
production.
</p>
<p>
<em>Build and lead engineering teams</em> with a focus on diversity
& inclusion and a fun and sustainable work environment,
leveraging my network and developer advocacy experience in hiring.
</p>
<p>
I'm available primarily on <em>contract</em>, but open to discussing
<em>FTE positions</em> in the right role in the right company.
</p>
</section>
<section id="technologies" class="page-break-after">
<h2>Technologies</h2>
<p>
I am highly effective in architecting and engineering web
applications using <em>Modern JavaScript</em>, and associated Web
ecosystem standards, tools and practices.
</p>
<p>
My preferred tool for building user experiences is <em>React</em>,
either as <em>SSR</em>, <em>SSG</em>, or <em>SPA</em> applications.
I've built and shipped multiple apps for <em>iOS</em> and
<em>Android</em> using <em>React Native</em>.
</p>
<p>
I have a strong preference for working in statically typed
compile-to-JavaScript languages such as <em>TypeScript</em>,
<em>Flow</em> and <em>Rescript</em>.
</p>
<p>
I love designing UI/UX in <em>Figma</em>,
building out UIs with <em>CSS-in-JS</em> libraries, Utility-first
CSS approaches like <em>Tailwind</em>, and deploying designs at
scale using design systems and pattern libraries.
</p>
<p>
I have experience building and scaling end-to-end type-safe
real-time systems using <em>Node</em>, <em>GraphQL</em>,
<em>gRPC</em>, <em>prisma</em>, and <em>CRDTs</em> such as <em>Y.js</em> on the server, and
using with tools like <em>Apollo</em>, <em>Relay</em> and
<em>urql</em> on the client.
</p>
<p>
Configuring <em>webpack</em> is not my favorite hobby, but I can
make it do what is needed, along with tools like <em>esbuild</em>,
<em>Vite</em>, <em>Rollup</em>, <em>Babel</em>, and <em>ASTs</em>.
</p>
<p>
As a full-stack developer I have built and deployed resilient,
large-scale services to <em>AWS</em>, <em>GCP</em> and <em>Cloudflare</em>
in containerised, serverless, edge, and PaaS environments.
</p>
<p>
I have a solid grasp of <em>software engineering fundamentals</em>
such as functional and object-oriented programming paradigms,
database design, and systems architecture.
</p>
<p>
I’m also keen to <em>learn new things</em>. Currently, I'm diving
deeper into real-time, distributed, serverless, and edge computing.
