Senior Software Developer
My Way Digital Health.
Heavily involved in building a healthcare platform for patient diabetes management. When I arrived, the team was a motley crew of developers building a single, bug-riddled web portal. Now, there is a platform consisting of numerous portals and web services, many automated tests in place, and an efficient development process, involving a DevOps task board, code review, branching and CI/CD release pipelines.
• Developed a lot of the software, especially the web interfaces, third-party integrations and rule-based engines.
• Involved in design discussions.
• Technically mentored junior staff.
• Recommended development process and code review, having worked at Baillie Gifford and seen the process work there.

Pilgrim & Travel Writer
unknown.
Fulfilled an ambition of walking an entire Camino de Santiago, one of a network of long-distance pilgrim paths in Spain and Portugal. This provided a much-needed reset of the body and mind that I craved at the time. Took many pictures and a journal, writing up said journal into a full-blown memoir. Will perhaps try to get it published one day.
