\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, Ive 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. Ive built from scratch and taken over mature projects. Im 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 Ive 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
Ive learned a lot about what works
and what doesnt in my different roles
but people work best when allowed to
express their creativity. After taking
the time to properly understand the
companys values, goals and those of
its people, Ill 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 Ill attack
those first. Always collaboratively Ill
build a clear technology strategy that
becomes the North Star for everyone
granting them the agency and
freedom to confidently make decisions
themselves. Ill 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 were working in.
\textbf{Developing a Strategy:}
Always
working collaboratively across the
organisation Ill co-create a strategy
aligned with the goals I uncovered.
Well have fun with workshops,
brainstorming sessions and more on
the way!
\textbf{Measure Success:}
During execution
well 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.
