Software & Platform Engineer

Software engineer focused on putting the right software in the hand of users through collaboration, learning and experimentation. I am most comfortable delivering resilient SPAs and microservices safely and reliably using continuous delivery and infrastructure as code where my experience working at different levels across a range of technical stacks allows me to quickly identify opportunities and drive improvements according to business needs.
