About Me
I love working on exciting projects where I can use the latest advancements in web technology to produce innovative solutions.
I currently work remotely as a Software Developer at Shopify. Previously I've worked with Bellroy, SCRUMPY and Ziontech Solutions.
In 2015 I was the Lead Developer on a project that won a WebAward for being an "Outstanding Website". My role on the project was full-stack: planning, design, development and dev-ops.
I've worked on a mix of frontend & backend projects both customer and non-customer facing across many languages & frameworks. Most days I can be found using Ruby on Rails to build server-side rendered web applications with sprinklings of interactivity via ES6, Elm, StimulusJS, React or custom elements.
I enjoy applying Clean Architecture techniques with the help of tools such as Sorbet & Packwerk to help drive better architecture in Ruby projects that need to be easy to work with, extensible & maintainable into the future.
