About
I've been a developer for just over 5 years, with some of the highlights including my role in leading architectural improvements and legacy system migrations at The Keyholding Company and my time at the Adaptavist Group as a Full Stack Developer.
Whilst at TKC I've been focused on moving sections of our older platform into a new, more modern, "V2" codebase, introducing modern technologies like Tanstack Query, Vitest and Biome. I also established a process to document architectural decisions through the use of RFCs and Architectural Decision Records.
More recently, in my current role, I've been working closely with senior business stakeholders and the product team, to develop technical proofs-of-concept and MVPs to help shape our architecture for future projects.
If I'm not doing anything code related I'm probably tending to my plants, chilling with my fiancé and our 3 dogs, getting more leaves for our stick insects, or travelling the world!
