Profoundly curious about the 'how' and the 'why', I've had a love affair with technology for the best part of my life. After years of studying principles of programming in formal education, I made the leap to the practical and joined Makers Academy. The goal now is to fully commit and simply make good-looking, solid, purposeful things.

While at Makers Academy I studied TDD in Ruby and JavaScript and focused on building MVC-based apps.

• RPS Challenge - One of the Ruby apps I built while at Makers. The little green tick there to show 100% test coverage satisfies me greatly.

• Changr - Native iOS app built in Swift that uses beacons to change they way we donate.

Studied Object Oriented Programming and Software Engineering practices using Java as part of a Joint Honors degree.

My high-school years were dedicated to imperative programming in C++ and familiarizing myself with concepts like algorithm complexity and graph traversal. Won a few regional awards for solving complex problems.

• Supported data-driven processes in a complex, time critical corporate environment at UBS.
• Managed IT infrastructure for a suite of 50 apps, including developing new tools for monitoring structure and capacity and implementing Business Continuity Processes.

• Have played around with making good looking material, chiefly using the Adobe Creative Suite. Some examples here.

• 12 week intensive software development course focused on OOP, London style TDD and pair-programming.

• BSc Computer Science w/ Business & Management
• 2.1
