Software Developer at Monzo Bank
London, United Kingdom
I am a principally back-end software developer at Made by Many, though I also help out Ryan McGrath with operations and get involved in other projects when the opportunity arises. I've contributed significantly to the back-end of our in-house designed and developed ITV News platform http://www.itv.com/news/ and shows platform http://www.itv.com/, both the end-user-visible site and the CMS....

I wrote the very main part of the API, CMS, and supply chain integration of our new classical music app Composed (https://composed.com/). I'm also one of the top committers for Skype in the classroom (https://education.skype.com/). These are all written in Ruby on Rails (and without Rails, where appropriate) and served from Amazon Web Services. I recently wrote a blog post about Moltar, a tool I wrote in Go (http://madebymany.com/blog/a-little-tooling-goes-a-long-way). I've also contributed significantly to our operations strategy and tooling beyond Moltar, packaging Rails applications for reliable deployment and dependency management. I'm also one of the people here closest to our AWS setup and strategy. I lead and teach a regular class around the Haskell programming language, partially to help me learn it, but also to help others who are interested. For a little change recently, I also contributed to our web editor component, Sir Trevor, improving my JavaScript and making some appreciated modernisations to the codebase (https://github.com/madebymany/sir-trevor-js/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Adwb). I also help provide out-of-hours operations support for our production services that we are running for clients.

📖 Summary
Hi! I’m a software developer with over six years’ experience in digital agency land and a small communications technology company, plus countless hours in previous jobs, bedrooms, classrooms, etc. I aim to combine technical insight with real-world context, all related effectively back to other developers, designers, strategists, project managers, clients — whoever is involved. My strengths are in back-end web application design and implementation; their architechture, deployment, and operation; and ability to readily pick up new languages, technologies, and situations. I don’t constrain myself to one language or framework, and enjoy exploring alternative ways to think about software that also confer real-world benefits. In this way I’m particularly interested in Haskell at the moment, and functional programming in general — especially with expressive type systems. I mostly write Ruby day-to-day, along with Go, Python, Bash, and recently some JavaScript. I’m also pretty happy with C, Objective-C (with Cocoa and iOS frameworks), Java, and to an extent C++. I am not interested in working for companies that aren’t enthusiastically interested in diversity, or who don’t have a strong sense of ethics.Software Developer @ I am a principally back-end software developer at Made by Many, though I also help out Ryan McGrath with operations and get involved in other projects when the opportunity arises.
