I design, develop and deploy code, and I can lead, engage and develop people. I also have a knack for finding problems and then solving them (in that order, which is important). I may over-engineer on the first pass. Simply put, I'm a very useful generalist who makes life better for everyone and everything I'm around.
I’ve been designing, developing, and deploying web applications (and all sorts of web “stuff”) since the late 1990s. I worked in various individual contributor (IC) roles (design/development) until 2016, when I started transitioning into engineering management (EM) roles (senior, lead, head and eventually CTO & CIO). I can do both roles well (or so people tell me) and although they're different in a fundamental way, I experience joy.
I also own a woodland, which I manage myself. I do the odd bit of tree work (I'm a qualified arborist) and spend any spare time I have left in my workshop. If you ask really nicely, I may come and take care of your trees for a modest fee.
