About Me
I was brought up in Harrow, Greater London and went to Loughborough University. I am currently living in West London and have a full-time job.
In 2004 I set up my own company selling laser pointers. It grew into other areas throughout the years, but slow sales brought it to a natural close.
I'm particularly interested in the Internet and new technology, as well as being a self-confessed geek and Apple fanboy. For more about my interests, you can read my blog.
Employment Profile
I am currently a Principal Software Engineer at Farfetch and have a strong record of producing high quality, scalable engineering solutions for both front and back-end. For example, when I was at King, I built a DSP from scratch (within a team). I have a proven ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and lead development.
I graduated from Loughborough University with a 2:1 in Computer Science (BSc).
Through my jobs, I have experience with from-end and back-end development. My specialities include Java, BigData and Cloud.I'm also strong in web technologies (e.g. PHP, ReactJS) and databases (including NoSQL).
