Mark Gannaway's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

I am a London based software engineer, hobby roboticist, retro computer collector, musician and film binger (among many other things). In my home life I'm currently focused on finding ways to cheat at pictionary using neural networks and bringing life back to a broken Macintosh SE/30 and a Commodore 8032-SK. I am addicted to learning, and also to books (odd for a tech enthusiast!). You'll often find me reading about subjects from Metamathematics, to Newtonian Physics to GPU processing and getting incredibly obsessed with them. I pride myself on being a well-read, technically skilled and self motivated engineer. I love to teach others; I've put a significant portion of time into that in my work with talks, code challenges and code reviews.Software Engineer @ From October 2015 to Present (1 month) London, United KingdomLead Software Engineer & Architect @ • Shifted organisation from PHP to the Go programming language • Overhauled internal hosting on client applications • Gave a number of talks and mentored other engineers in topics from system administration to automated testing • Developing server and client of a distributed SaaS application • Developed a context and date aware natural language search system From September 2013 to September 2015 (2 years 1 month) London, United KingdomCTO @ • Maintained and developed websites, campaigns and applications for clients including Nando's, Kiddicare, Virgin Atlantic and Oakam • Developed distributed Go service to manage to video conversions for Oakam From January 2013 to August 2015 (2 years 8 months) London, United KingdomSoftware Engineer @ • Developed a multitude of websites and applications for a multitude of high-profile and blue chip clients • Built a number of internal tools to manage projects, domains, DNS, retainers, analytical reporting, real-time application monitoring and testing • Built test suites for older applications and migrated to continuous delivery platform • Converted existing Flash applications to HTML5 From September 2011 to September 2013 (2 years 1 month) London, United KingdomWeb Developer @ • Developed bespoke CMS and framework (initially in C# but moved to PHP) to manage news across multiple domains • Built and maintained a number of WordPress sites • Developed a number of WordPress themes and plugins • Developed 20 questions type web application to match consumers to products (using dynamically generated decision trees) • Developed interactive 3D magazine store in Papervision 3D From September 2010 to September 2011 (1 year 1 month) Canterbury, United KingdomMultimedia Technology and Design, Computer Software Engineering, First Class Honours @ University of Kent From 2008 to 2011 Wilmington Grammar School From 2001 to 2008 Mark Gannaway is skilled in: Go, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, Git, SQL, Python, HTML 5, C#, C++, Java, Test Driven Development, Node.js, C, POSIX, Automated Software..., Distributed Systems, Parallel Computing, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, NoSQL, OpenGL, WebGL
