Long concerned with climate change, I started a 12 week deep-dive into Climate Change: Learning for Action September 2023. My goal being to pivot into climate tech using either my 8+ years of iOS/Swift or my 15+ years of C++. During that phase of personal development, I looked into ML, Neural Networks, and data science and visualisation, using a combination of Python and C++.

My 30+ year career spans exciting changes from classic waterfall development to agile methods such as Kanban and SCRUM. The languages and technology stacks may have changed, but I have always kept up to date with best practices. My career path has been a pendulum moving between development and management, allowing me to provide valuable insights.

I can design and implement complex components and systems, provide architectural design, relevant design documentation, test planning and execution. After the clean design and coding of simple solutions to complex problems, I dive into application profiling and performance tuning to deliver the best results. Often tasked with evaluating new standards and technologies and selecting software development libraries and tools, I mentor other developers and enjoy working with product managers and application experts to ensure that requirements are satisfied.
