<h3>Deliveroo</h3>
<p class="tag">July 2022 - Present</p>
<h4>Staff Software Engineer</h4>
</div>
<p>
Going from 6 engineers in Care to over 18 has necessitated the Care team grow, split, and redefine its
priorities across these new teams. During my time at Deliveroo I've ended up being "Mr Agent Tooling", which I
probably owe to my DVELP experience as well as just loving the problem space in general.
</p>
<p>
Having impact within and without of the Care Applications team has become more of my responsibility each day,
and being promoted to Staff Engineer is Deliveroo's way of recognising this, as well as letting me concentrate
on larger problems than the nitty-gritty of getting stuck in coding at the coal-face. Anyone who's worked with
me knows how much I love communicating, planning, and seeing a project through from its first steps to full
graduation, so this is a dream for me - <img

<h3>Deliveroo</h3>

<h4>Senior Software Engineer</h4>
</div>
<p>
Deliveroo have many facets to their operation, and one that's not
immediately obvious to outsiders is that of "Care" - what happens
after you place your order. It's an integral part of a great customer
experience, and one that Deliveroo takes incredibly seriously.
</p>
<p>
I am part of the Care Engineering team, looking after these various
microservices (both frontend and backend) across various languages,
keeping up with the latest technology as a company at the scale of
Deliveroo must do, while creating advancements at the break-neck speed
that an industry leader and disruptor demands.

<h3>DVELP</h3>
<p class="tag">June 2019 - November 2020</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 was 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 everyone it employs, not just that of some god-like "Senior
Leadership Team".
</p>
<p>
I also had the responsibility of 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.
</p>
<p>
For the last 6 months of my employment, I was also effectively acting
Head of Engineering for the DVELP practice within the parent company
Sabio; being involved in all facets of business delivery, including
sales, support, hiring, scoping, client communications, technical
direction, and actually engineering solutions.

<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.

<h4>Software Engineer</h4>

<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 Group</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.
