About

Over the years I have led an accomplished career as a cross-platform mobile developer with 9+ years’ workplace experience in building, delivering, and maintaining full-stack solutions. I am currently serving as a Senior Mobile Development Consultant at Tangent Solutions and play a vital role in the Mobile Software Development Team’s client consultations on Xamarin Forms, Native Android and iOS solutions. Through my commitment to this role, I have helped multiple clients of Tangent Solutions improve their mobile app delivery to the app stores and stability of their mobile applications on end-user devices.

I love technology and the possibilities that it brings. I am currently completing my B.Sc. in Computer Science (specialising in Game Development) at the University of London. I am an avid supporter of Open-Source projects and in my spare time, I build video games using open-source software such as Godot (game engine), Blender and Pixelorama.

I am an open communicator, a quick learner, objective, unafraid of asking questions and willing to look for the best-suited solutions. I understand that teamwork and cultivating a collaborative atmosphere is essential to a project’s ongoing success. I thrive in areas where innovation and creativity are a must. I am loyal and have never been afraid of hard work. I’m inquisitive, intelligent and relish any opportunity to fix and solve problems.

I am patient and gentle-spirited, always willing to help, although when given an opportunity, I can be a creative comic and a little eccentric and fun. I am widely read and knowledgeable about a variety of different topics. I love to explore how and why things work and place great value on taking enough time to make sound decisions and exploring new creative avenues.

My other passion projects include restoring my vintage 1969 Mini car, leading a media team for video production, a live band and live stream broadcasts over the weekends. I also collect guitars, own a few pets and a house!

Projects

OUTsurance Mobile App

The OUTsurance mobile application is build using Xamarin forms and is supported by a .Net Core API backend. New feature development has seen us moving parts of the supporting API to Kubernetes clusters hosted in Azure for high availability micro-services that enable future integrations.
