I'm offering
I have a proven track record of crafting high-quality features to specification, as well as helping to create and push back on those specifications to ensure they are both technically sound and sensible for both the business and its customers, including thinking about performance, user experience, extensibility and maintainability.
My passion within Software Engineering is architecture, developer UX experiences and performance optimisation. I enjoy enabling teams to create high-quality products, steering towards the "pit of success" by having well-defined development processes and structure, with great APM and DevOps solutions to support high-volume public-facing web applications.

Recruitment Genius.
Contractor
Lead developer for a small development team maintaining and extending web-facing applications.
As well as many successful features enhancements and additions, successfully lead a rewrite of the main customer-facing, Azure-hosted, application from ASP.NET MVC to a Vue.js-based SPA, written in Typescript with a .NET Blueprint-based RESTful Web API.
The rewrite provided the opportunity to consolidate and improve our front-end application significantly by introducing a "Style Guide" for frontend components and common functionality like an express.js node server, Webpack configuration, a Stylus-based CSS library and Jest-tested TypeScript codebase. The result was a quicker application for the customers, that was more feature rich than before yet easier to develop for the team.
Key architecture / DevOps improvements and introductions:
• Continuous Integration pipeline using TeamCity, with build definition in Nuke (previously Powershell)
• Vue CLI and Webpack 3 based build system
• Code reviews
• Externalise and standardise authentication using SAAS provider Auth0
• Introduce Application Insights for performance tracking, RayGun for error reporting and LogEntries for logging (now Rapid7)

Open Source
Blueprint https://github.com/barclayadam/blueprint
Blueprint is a recently open-sourced library developed for Timestamp and used in other projects including Recruitment Genius that provides a framework for building highly performant RESTful APIs in .NET
Blueprint provides a "CQRS"-based API development experience, with cross-cutting concerns such as logging and error handling handled using Roslyn runtime-compiled pipelines for maximum efficiency in terms of performance and memory usage.
Hangfire.Azure.ServiceBusQueue https://github.com/HangfireIO/Hangfire.Azure.ServiceBusQueue
Rewrote integration package between Azure Service Bus and Hangfire in 2015, maintaining the package since then with small, incremental upgrades
