I'm offering
I'm a Senior Software Engineer, looking to progress my career after a lengthy period at the same company. I
have 15 years of commercial experience writing software in a variety of languages, with a variety of
technologies, but the primary focus has been Java, specifically J2EE web development. I also have a lot of
experience with Mobile development, primarily in Objective-C on iOS, but also with the Android and Blackberry
platforms. I'm passionate about writing clean, maintainable, testable code and have been somewhat
evangelical about unit/integration tests and continuous integration in my current position. I'm always keen to
stay up to date with current technologies and will spend a lot of my own time learning, experimenting and
playing with new language features, languages and ideas. I find very little as satisfying as solving a difficult
problem with code that is elegant, and consider it time well spent to refactor existing code to make it cleaner
and more testable. I have taken on responsibilities in the realm of security, after completing an online course
on cryptography run by Stanford University, being responsible for staying abreast of security developments
and for attempting to ensure things like the OWASP top 10 are disseminated, and followed, by all of my fellow
developers. I'm equally as happy leading a team as being a valuable member of a team and thoroughly enjoy
bouncing programming ideas off colleagues and eagerly contribute to peripheral discussions.

job
Admin Assistant
DERA/QinetiQ.
Although employed as an admin assistant temp for a month, I was able to bring my, at the time limited,
programming knowledge, to make my boss's job significantly more automated. As such I was kept on for the rest of my gap year and ended up travelling around the country to various MOD bases collecting
computers and securely destroying data so that the computers could be given away to charities.
