ABOUT ME
Full Stack Software Engineer
Full Stack Software Engineer

Active, and self-taught professional web developer with 20 years of experience, with proven abilities to adapt to a variety of business requirements, through multiple contracted positions in both the UK and internationally.

Proven experience leading small and large-scale project environments, within virtual teams and through remote working, balancing multiple time-zones and team skill sets, leading the organisation and deployment of contractual deliverables in a timely, professional manner.

Championing frontend practices where applicable, I am proactive in supporting my team through various issues which may arise, where I have often delved into back-end code to ensure full feature delivery.

I bring a unique energy to the teams I have worked with and can quickly adapt to the needs of those around me. As a keen learner in self-development, I have given several talks about Event Sourced data in Baltimore USA and Manchester UK, Password-less authentication and Hugo Static Site Generation at UK and International meet-up groups.

Kyle was very friendly and very helpful with the problem I had. He was able to help me understand and see what was going on. I also talked with him briefly about setting up a weekly "check-in" were he could help me on a regular basis figure out any problems I was having.

Excellent work, quick turnaround. I needed someone to review a code repo built by outsourced developers. Kyle reviewed the code base and found several issues along with improvements and workarounds to the problems. Give him a try.

Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly debugging some really convoluted blockers with Vue.js and Vuex state, providing clear explanations in an accessible manner and tackling each issue straight away.

Brought into the Funeral Care department to assist on the digital solutions (Guardian) product. I have delivered some of the first digital pubic customer-facing products this department has released. I heavily involved myself in the private frontend community. My suggestions for best-practices have since been implemented within the design systems and component libraries across the organisation.
