4 years academic, and 11 years industry experience. My strength lies in the development of cross platform web applications, with the ability to work across both the front and back ends. I enjoy creating strong design patterns based code, with a preference in developing pure reusable modules that are simple, scalable, and well documented. My preferred technologies are: Node, Hapi, React (universally too), Redux, React Router, ImmutableJs, Ramda, Fantasy-Land, CSS3, HTML5, CSS Modules, Babel, Webpack, Mocha, Chai, Proxyquire, JsDom, EsDoc, Sinon. I have also been integrating functional based design practices into my work, using Javascript and Scala as my platforms for implementation (complemented by research into practices by Elm, Cycle.js and Haskell).

Executive Director @ From May 2015 to Present (8 months) Senior Web Developer @ Adgistics helps to grow brand value for global businesses with its range of Brand Asset Management solutions and services. I worked within Adgistics' product development team and was responsible for building multiple versions of their products and modules within their brand management eco system systems. Some of the primary output that I produced includes the design and development of; artwork/video annotation module, a media decoding/encoding service using docker containers, custom Digital Asset Management system(s), document indexing + search modules, workflow and approval modules, project management systems, custom CMS modules, integrating 3rd party CMS solutions, and building a custom directed graph based ACL system. I also helped the development team grow during my tenure, being a part of the core team team that introduced a continuous build and deployment configuration with releases using semantic versioning, BDD style development, pair programming, code reviews, agile-esque development techniques and strict guidelines to code quality and practices. Adgistics has matured to produce and procure many products spanning multiple technologies. Therefore to avoiding code duplication and UI effort was a difficult task. I introduced a modular based design approach which allowed the developers to build custom and extensible modules that could be easily plugged into any of the existing codebases. These modules included everything, from rest based API layers, to storage, security models, and even a standard UI layer for quick implementation. All of which allowed customisation, via providers for the code, and the registration of route overrides for the UI layer.

The CMS was built in a modular fashion so that it could meet the requirements and needs of the various publishing groups.
