With eight years of software engineering experience, I've developed technical expertise and leadership skills across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise environments. At BR-DGE, I led a 10-person cross-functional engineering team, maintaining hands-on involvement in architecture decisions. Throughout my career, I've balanced coding with leadership, having architected and delivered multiple full-stack products that directly generated sales while mentoring junior engineers and establishing best practices.

My approach focuses on balancing business requirements with technical excellence to create maintainable solutions. I'm particularly effective at bridging communication between product stakeholders and engineering teams, ensuring alignment and translating business needs into technical implementation.

I'm seeking a Senior/Lead Engineering role where I can leverage my technical depth and leadership experience to drive excellence and innovation while contributing directly to complex problem-solving. I'm drawn to opportunities where I can deliver impactful products while continuing to develop as both a technical expert and leader.

Hi,

I have over 20 years in the industry starting out as a Linux SysAdmin / Network Engineer and now doing more Systems / Low level Programming, R&D, and occasional DevOps.

Looking for opportunities involving low level / embedded systems / backend software development. Happy to also do automation / SysAdmin / DevOps as well. Although not my forte, I like to do robust automated testing / QA for software to ensure they meet (potentially undocumented) requirements.

I'm looking for a native Android position with the possibility of doing iOS also or Kotlin Multi Platform.

I have a tonne of experience working on native Android projects of my own, and contributing to open source projects. My career has mostly been in the Microsoft mobile space - Xamarin and MAUI. Sometimes recruitment don't see that this has given me a huge exposure to native code with the native bindings for these platforms.

I'm hugely interested in security and privacy and I'm hoping my next role involves these areas.

Above all else, as the resume says, I'm looking for a company that is trying to build high quality software and putting the user first.

Thanks for reading!
