As an accomplished and enthusiastic Head of Software with over 15 years of experience, I am passionate about using technology to solve complex problems and drive innovation. With a proven track record of transforming unmanageable applications into scalable and secure solutions, my expertise includes SaaS development, team management, design, and analysis of complex commercial solutions.
As a team player with a high level of integrity, I value the balance between technical and commercial imperatives that drive a successful business. I possess strong leadership and communication skills that enable effective collaboration with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
My journey in computer programming started at the age of 10, and I developed a passion for Computer Science while at high school. After earning my Diploma in Computing, I worked as an 'IT Assistant' and eventually earned the title of 'Software Engineer'. During my time there, I developed many different solutions to problems, from increasing efficiency and work flow to vast improvements in architecture and systems.
I also have experience working at a specialist software house, where I worked closely with a team of programmers to develop the next generation of cloud software products for some of the country's largest companies. Not only did I work on these products, but I also advised on the growth of the business's cloud infrastructure.
With my analytical skills, I develop and implement IT and business strategies to maximize efficiency and productivity. I thrive in a fluid and constantly evolving environment, where creative solutions are the norm. I enjoy working hands-on with designers and engineers to implement new features that align with our corporate ethos of simplicity and quality.
