Lead engineer, Bath/Bristol. I build and run production systems end to end.
About
I've been a software engineer for seven years, in consultancy, product and defence. I'm a Lead Engineer at Calvium, building Next.js and Nuxt systems for clients including Arts Council England and Rolls-Royce.
Outside work I build things for communities I'm part of: Dizzy.gg for fighting game rankings and tournaments, LLB Dojo for Lethal League Blaze practice, and Riichy for my local mahjong club.
A lot of my work is with people as well as code. I mentor engineers, interview for senior and lead roles, run study groups, and give talks. I also work directly with clients and stakeholders on requirements and delivery.
