<h3>DVELP</h3>
<p class="tag">June 2019 - Present</p>
<h4>Senior Software Engineer</h4>
</div>
<p>
DVELP is a company obsessed with creating real change in the
communications space, especially around contact centres. To this end,
they use Twilio and Google AI capabilities to create amazing
experiences, both for contact centre agents and customers alike.
</p>
<p>
I'm currently working as a full-stack (Node/TypeScript/React) Senior
Software Engineer, helping deliver client solutions through our
professional services offering, as well as assisting with business
functions on a day-to-day basis. I feel honoured to be included in
many high-level business operations and decision making - DVELP truly
is a company run by those employed by it, not just that of some
god-like "Senior Leadership Team".
</p>
<p>
I'm also currently the InfoSec officer for the company, meaning
there's lots of "fun" forms and questionnaires to fill out on a
regular basis, as well as internal and external audits.

<h3>Steve King Consulting</h3>
<p class="tag">Feb 2019 - May 2019</p>
<h4>Contract Software Engineer</h4>
</div>
<p>
I decided to make the move into contracting, and started working
through my Dad's company Steve King Consulting, offering in-house
design and development services to his existing client-base, as well
as updating the main website.
</p>
<p>
During this time I got to play with a lot of new technologies, mainly
centered around JAMStack, with lots of emphasis on speed and allowing
handovers to clients which required little technical knowledge to
maintain, using services such as Prismic to allow them an interface to
update the content of their site without ever touching code.

<h3>Sky Betting & Gaming</h3>
<p class="tag">Nov 2017 - Jan 2019</p>
<h4>Senior Software Engineer</h4>
</div>
<p>
After 2 years and moving to the Vegas product, I applied for and
received a promotion to Senior. This effectively meant my duties would
involve more decision making and planning for the future of our
product(s), as well as giving more guidance to junior developers. As I
had grown to be a "go to" point of contact for most people outside of
my squad, this promotion also recognised that status as someone to
trust regarding what could/couldn't be done and in what timeframe.
</p>
<p>
I continued to write code, however more and more ended up reviewing
and pairing with others to improve our code quality overall, as tech
moves fast and somehow SBG moved faster! We used bleeding-edge
front-end tech such as Next with React all coded in TypeScript. The
back-end was being updated from PHP to Next and Node, with the
pipelines all being run through Jenkins. We were also moving from a
Chef-on-prem docker stack to an AWS docker stack.

<h3>Sky Betting & Gaming</h3>

<h4>Software Engineer</h4>
</div>
<p>
I was offered a job via the refer-a-friend scheme, and was placed into
the Gaming tribe into the "One To Go" Squad, which is responsible for
the Sky Bingo product. This is a high-performance product, which
serves hundreds-of-thousands of visitors a week, and thus is built to
the most rigorous of performance standards using a combination of PHP
and JavaScript (React/Flux). The site is fully responsive, and the one
codebase must work across all screen sizes, devices, and both an
Android and iOS application.
</p>
<p>
We practice peer-code-reviews as a matter of course for all changes
for the site (no matter how small), and the whole site is deployed by
a continuous integration pipeline built around Jenkins; in short, the
whole product is super modern, adhering to the current best coding
practices.

<h3>Highfield ABC</h3>
<p class="tag">Jul 2014 - Nov 2015</p>
<h4>Software Developer</h4>
</div>
<p>
Primarily working with ASP.Net (both Visual Basic and C# components),
my responsibilities included maintaining the bespoke behemoth website
of highfieldabc.com. This was a huge system, that handled every part
of the business, from sales, users, managing learners and courses,
validation, interacting with examination systems (both in house and
third party), and providing and consuming various services.
</p>
<p>
Early in my employment, I was tasked with rebuilding their Dubai site
to bring it roughly in line with modern web design (an improvement
from the 2006-esque look). I did this, but also created a mockup of a
Bootstrap-powered responsive site and provided that alongside. The
directors saw this and asked me to make this the focus of design for
all the Highfield online products going forward. This has been built
using Angular, leveraging ASP MVC, RESTful services, and Azure.

<h3>Verizon Enterprise Solutions Groupo</h3>
<p class="tag">Jul 2012 - Oct 2012</p>
<h4>Project IT Developer - Intern analyst</h4>
</div>
<p>
I worked at Verizon as part of a 12-week internship program in the
Software Development department. I was assigned to work on an
extension to an existing Billing & ERP System, which used Oracle
PL/SQL, a language I had never worked with before. As well as this
development, I also had to quickly grasp how to use/work in UNIX,
including working in vi to edit shell and perl scripts.
</p>
<p>
After this project was mostly completed, I was moved to work on a
different critical system, which is used to handle the connection
status of "high risk" accounts. The system front-end needed completely
rewriting into Java/HTML/CSS from Flex, interacting with a different
PL/SQL system. This also required me to work with the offshore team
based in India, which was a learning experience for myself; after
going from never having a conference call, to having a 5 hour time
difference was interesting, to say the least.
