Work

1. cinch

   Feb 2022 - Current

   I've spent my time at cinch working in an agile, multidisciplinary team on both front-end (Gatsy, Next.js, React) and serverless back-end (AWS) typescript projects. This has been a fantasic opportunity to gain experience in both new technologies, and methodologies. I've learnt a lot around observability, cloud, serverless architectures, infrastructure-as-code and pair/mob programming.

2. Blueprint Gaming

   Oct 2010 - Feb 2022

   Blueprint gave me a wide variety of experience across a lot of different technologies and roles. Over my years there, I went from developing native mobile games, to web based games, and spent several years leading a small team of developers working on internal libraries and tooling to make the lives of the game developers easier.

   This involved a variety of tools and languages, and while working on the internal libraries, I discovered a love of TypeScript and React, as well as leading initiatives to migrate the company from their existing SVN version control system to git, and implement CI/CD pipelines.
