Open to engineering lead roles
Senior full-stack engineer
I’m a senior full-stack engineer with experience leading projects and managing a small engineering team. I turn broad product problems into practical plans, work with stakeholders to shape solutions, and deliver alongside the team.
I’m looking for an engineering lead role, particularly with a company improving people’s working lives or advancing a positive environmental mission.
From evaluating providers to coordinating four engineers: leading a payroll integration that belonged in the HR platform, across profiles, compensation and documents.
Outcome Launched with Check, led through rollout and supported sales conversations with technical and payroll expertise.
Read case studyTaking a broad request for bill and meter-reading reminders through a mobile proof of concept, Salesforce integration and production rollout.
Outcome Both notification journeys shipped. Analytics showed increased on-time meter-reading completion, and copywriters could manage messages in Salesforce.
Read case studyDesigning understandable audit data and leading the decision to use a transactional outbox so application changes and audit events stayed connected.
Outcome The production outbox buffered pending events during a BigQuery outage, separating audit delivery from BigQuery availability.
Read case studyAs interim engineering manager at OVO, I led a team of four including myself while remaining hands-on. In one-to-ones, I connected project work with each developer’s interests and career goals.
With a junior engineer new to React Native, I chose work just beyond their current experience. We used whiteboarding to make mathematical problems tangible, then paired with them driving the implementation and me helping them stay on course.
OutcomeThey went on to independently tackle more technical projects, including refactoring our graphing-library usage.

Away from code, I enjoy cooking, from a meal for two to a table full of people. My Christmas dinner planner brings a little engineering organisation to the kitchen.
I’m open to conversations about engineering lead roles. I prefer remote work with occasional London get-togethers, and I’m also open to full-time office-based roles in Bristol or Cardiff.
