Diversity and depth.
When I say full-stack, I mean it. My software career includes self-driving (ADAS) tech, medical devices, nano-satellites, infotainment systems and successful SaaS products. I found myself making the most impact through web tech, spending a good part of the last decade crafting mobile and web products that serve thousands of active users to-date.
Creating useful and unique experiences.
Building slick and empowering web products is my jam. I specialise in typed and functional JavaScript (TypeScript, React and React Native). Having delivered business-critical solutions at scale, I have a strong appreciation for accessibility, security and testing (TDD).
Strong academic background.
I hold a first-class honours MEng degree in Robotics from a Russel Group university. I have taught software-oriented seminars at the University of Oxford, Cambridge, Leeds and Edinburgh. Some of my work can be found published in academic journals.
Knack for the business side.
I run Monad Engineering and operate as an independent software consultant. In the past I worked across the whole product lifecycle as an employee in both large and small orgs. I've also co-founded several indie SaaS products, namely Mentor Audio - a platform that connects aspiring music producers and labels in the UK, and Camdeed - a photo sharing platform for weddings and expos.
Mature team player.
Reasonable, empathetic and compassionate, as well as direct and transparent. When situations presented themselves I trained, mentored and led other engineers with good success. I'm also part of the Equal Experts network and understand the value of mature, high-functioning product teams.

I've written code for Jaguar Land Rover, AO, Awaze, Smith & Nephew, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Procter & Gamble. In the past I have also developed and licensed proprietary software to a number of aerospace clients in US, including NASA Ames.
