Background

I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Birmingham where I graduated with First Class Honours.

I worked at a number of software companies for over 10 years, notable projects I worked on include:

• Building a new asset management product for the highways maintenance industry
• Building road marking design software as an AutoCAD plugin
• Building a document and record management solution used by companies such as Royal Mail and Sainsbury's
• Building bespoke product configuration solutions for automotive companies such as Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo

During this time I delivered a number of projects both on time and within budget, leading local and distributed development teams. I also took on additional roles as required including Scrum Master and Product Owner.
