\section*{\sffamily Technical}
|
||
\medskip\raggedright
|
||
I have the solid technical background to act effectively with confidence and to gain the respect of a technical team. Additionally, I’ve developed that into a broad base of knowledge to enable supporting the business in as many ways as possible.
|
||
|
||
I've spent the greater part of my career as a full stack web developer but I've always looked for opportunities to broaden my skills and experience. My aim was to become a true technology generalist; the payoff being I can communicate effectively with development, testing, data, platform engineering and product teams. I can also get hands-on in those roles if necessary.
|
||
|
||
\subsection*{Skills}
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Ruby:} My strongest technical skill. I’ve built from scratch and taken over mature projects. I’m happy to call myself an expert here.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Elixir:} I've developed scalable, fault-tolerant web applications, embracing the functional programming paradigm for efficiency and reliability.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{TDD \& BDD:} A strong advocate for both, ensuring code quality and a seamless alignment between stakeholder requirements and the final codebase.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Data Engineering:} Transforming raw data into actionable insights through ETL processes and data analytics.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Platform Engineering:} I've architected and managed infrastructure across multiple cloud service providers.

||

\section*{Leadership}
|
||
\medskip\raggedright
|
||
In organisations of many shapes and sizes I’ve used my natural enthusiasm to motivate teams with a clear vision of the future.
|
||
|
||
Change is always happening in any organisation. I help the team ride that wave of change instead of, as so often happens, resisting it.
|
||
|
||
Relaxed, reflective and excited for the future, rather than mould people my idea of their roles I will encourage them to find their own motivations and align them with the company goals.
|
||
|
||
I employ various strategies to achieve this. For example, I love retrospectives for facilitating collaboration on improving process and use regular 1:1s to build trust and drive professional development.
|
||
|
||
\subsection*{My Values}
|
||
\textbf{Collaboration:} where everyone has the opportunity to contribute at any stage.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Transparency:} where working in the open removes silos.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Adaptability:} where change is embraced as an opportunity.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Pioneering:} where boldness meets innovation, not being afraid to try something out and always learning from failure.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Empathy:} where understanding, compassion, and inclusivity drive interactions.

\section*{Strategic Planning}
|
||
\medskip\raggedright
|
||
I’ve learned a lot about what works
|
||
and what doesn’t in my different roles
|
||
but people work best when allowed to
|
||
express their creativity. After taking
|
||
the time to properly understand the
|
||
company’s values, goals and those of
|
||
its people, I’ll put the emphasis on
|
||
finding innovative ways to take us
|
||
where we want to go.
|
||
|
||
The hardest problems are the most
|
||
valuable ones to solve so I’ll attack
|
||
those first. Always collaboratively I’ll
|
||
build a clear technology strategy that
|
||
becomes the North Star for everyone
|
||
granting them the agency and
|
||
freedom to confidently make decisions
|
||
themselves. I’ll help build the KPIs
|
||
and metrics to help everyone monitor
|
||
their successes and target
|
||
improvements.
|
||
|
||
\subsection*{Execution}
|
||
\textbf{Understanding Goals:}
|
||
I will engage
|
||
with stakeholders across the
|
||
organisation, listen to their needs and
|
||
take the time to properly understand
|
||
the objectives of the organisation as
|
||
well as the context we’re working in.
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Developing a Strategy:}
|
||
Always
|
||
working collaboratively across the
|
||
organisation I’ll co-create a strategy
|
||
aligned with the goals I uncovered.
|
||
We’ll have fun with workshops,
|
||
brainstorming sessions and more on
|
||
the way!
|
||
|
||
\textbf{Measure Success:}
|
||
During execution
|
||
we’ll have a simple way of tracking our
|
||
progression and the impact of our
|
||
initiatives. As a team we can use these
|
||
to target any adjustments as we go to
|
||
keep everything on track.%
