I DELIVER

Not parcels. Software.

I'm an engineering leader based in the south-east of the UK who delivers high-quality software projects, predominantly using Ruby on Rails, Golang and JavaScript.

I've led teams, both large and small. I've built software for systems that handle a few hundred up to millions of hits each day, and manage hundreds of millions of pounds. But most of all, I've delivered working software to real people.

ABOUT ME

I've worked in technology since I was 16, spending the last 10 years in engineering leadership.

Since 2023, I've worked for Relay Commerce, Inc, as their Head of Engineering, and now their CTO. Before that, I spent a few years as co-founder of TEAMS.gg, a gaming startup helping players to find the right teammates to play online games with.

In my spare time, I enjoy scuba diving & volunteering with young people as a Scout Leader with the UK Scout Association.
