I am a senior web-developer with an MSci in Astrophysics, specialising in the construction and maintenance of software solutions primarily engineered in Python. I have expertise in a variety of tools and frameworks such as Django, Flask, and CherryPy, and have over 10 years of commercial experience in building scalable web applications for numerous reputable global companies. I work with a variety of programming architectures and paradigms including microservices, domain driven design, and monolithic and distributed systems, with a skill-set that favours back-end development and TDD. My experience also extends to DevOps, as I have contributed to software architectured on a variety of cloud platforms such as AWS and DigitalOcean through the use of continuous integration systems (e.g. Jenkins and CircleCI) as well as more traditional, bare-metal stacks.

I enjoy working as part of a team, and have a firm belief that code-reviews and coherent teamwork is integral to creating a healthy work environment conducive to successful and productive projects.

I am both an English and a French native speaker, and am an avid rock climber. When not at work, I most probably can be found at my local climbing wall where I train three to four times a week.
