I have over 40 years of experience in diverse areas such as Robotic Engineering, Learning and Development, Computing and Software Development. I have worked in Germany, France, Norway, Poland, Italy and been part of large projects. I have taught Control Systems and Robotic Programming Languages in major companies and suppliers. I have run my own business. I am a competent and accomplished Full Stack Developer with first class communication skills.
In 2018 after 8 years in training at Apple I switched to software development based in the UK, working for a team based in Sunnyvale, California. I became adept at managing working from home for an entity in another timezone. The role involved supporting an online authoring tool that employed MySQL, Apache, PHP and the Codeigniter framework as a back-end. The front end used an early version of Angular, jQuery, BootStrap, moustache templates and JavaScript. During the last 4 years I implemented new features, fixed bugs, handled the release schedule using git and GitHub ,communicated the releases to the content team and wider org. A significant part of my role also involved creating scripts to query data from the database, for this I used SQL and / or Python. As side projects we implemented Docker hosted versions of the authoring tool, a Kubernetes hosted web chat using NodeJS and Express and a single page app for content requests using ReactJS. These were fun times!
My time at Apple came to an end after our relocation to Germany.
Now I am working alongside Jake at Kea.Studios. We are setting up a development agency that will essentially offer up to 24 hour, around the clock development options. We already have an network of designers and developers we can call upon. We specialise in Single Page Applications that will perform on the inside as good as they will appeal on the outside. We love React and NextJS. Take a look at what has already been achieved over at Kea.Studios. From there you will find a link where you can chat with us in English or in German.
