I'm a highly experienced modern .NET developer with extensive knowledge of the SEO and digital media industry. Architecting adaptive webcrawling API and big data mining platforms. I’ve had a strong passion for code since the age of 13, back when I was looking into Sinclair ZX81 BASIC programming as a hobby. I have diverse common programming reading and writing skills, a confident knowledge and use of runtime and mark-up languages, and I pride myself on my keen eye for detail. Even across other industries, I'm a logical thinker, an experienced business mind and able to quickly recognise and repair inefficiencies.

I've headed up large teams and have extensive experience guiding in leadership roles. I look after my staff and remove any impediments so they can flourish independently while pulling together towards the main goal. While allowing my teams to focus on quality and perfection, I ensure there is a common understanding of the technical requirements, communicating with both my contemporaries and clients to deliver the solutions required.

I also have a passion for machine learning and natural language processing projects, having managed projects and worked closely with teams from industry leading software development companies such as Microsoft and eBay.

My other key skills include:

Visual Basic .NET & C# specialisation
XAML mark-up
Agile (Scrum and Kanban)
Amazon AWS integration APIs
Advanced PHP
JSON and XML API architecture
CouchDB and SQL databases
Performance and scalability optimisations
