intro: |
I am an engineer with 15 years experience working in technology. I have primarily worked on the JVM, but have worked across a broad range of technologies thereon: Java, Groovy, Android, Coldfusion and most recently Scala. As well as spending a reasonable amount of time building applications for the web, which has given me an exposure to a range of javascript technologies over the years, through jQuery, extjs, knockout, backbone and most recently to React. <br/><br/>
I enjoy building interesting products, with a good Product Management focus and a good emphasis on good engineering principles and clean code (having worked across differing languages on the JVM, I recognise that good code is contextual).<br/><br/>
I have worked in large scale consultancy roles across Europe as well as a mix of startup experience (including one that was acquired) and I am currently the Chief Technology Officer at a legal-tech startup called <a href="https://www.basementcrowd.com" target="_blank">Basement Crowd</a> where we are building innovative products to serve the legal industry.
Experienced software QA Lead, Software Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer, QA Analyst, Software Tester, Automation Engineer, Performance Engineer with additional experience as a Software QA Consultant, Senior Field Application Engineer, Business Analyst, Solutions Architect, and Configurations Manager.
Strong background in software manual and automation testing, functionality and performance testing. Able to implement test plans, testing standards, and testing frameworks and monitoring for the projects.
Proven skills in providing overall technical leadership and mentorship throughout the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) and building strong international customer relationships in diverse cultures.
Fast learner with the ability to work under tight deadlines and to adapt to variety of situations.
Technical and non-technical business requirement analysis, solution formulation creating business requirement documents and integration documents.
Software project management and strong analytical skills.
Enhanced Reliability Status security clearance.
