One of two engineers hired to build the alpha of a marketing analytics platform, TrackMaven. After creating and launching the initial application, worked to grow the engineering team and develop the product through several rounds of investment in the business. Helped to oversee architectural decisions, build a strong team of enthusiastic engineers and scale the product to hundreds of customers.
Initially built a monolithic application using Django on Heroku, and then advocated for and helped to transition to a service-based architecture using Django, Flask, AngularJS and Kafka with a Docker orchestration layer running on AWS.
Focussed on good REST API design, documentation and developer productivity. Paired with junior engineers, aided in the hiring process and worked to develop a strong team culture.
Co-founded a web development consultancy, working on both internal and third-party projects. Designed and built complex web applications using a variety of programming languages and technologies.
Designed and wrote Matlab software for use in data analysis for a research group developing artificial pancreas technology.
Developed an open source Python package to help quickly construct pretty JSON APIs using Flask.
Working on a continuous, centralised documentation service for teams with codebases spanning many repositories.
Obtained an MEng in the Cambridge Engineering Tripos, achieving a Distinction for my Master's project investigating the mechanical properties of cell dynamics through a C++ software model.
