Product - Team - Performance

If you were to ask what I'm good at, it's getting things done, delivering value, and building great teams. I am a strong proponent of user centred design and minimum viable product.

Recently I have worked within the public sector transitioning teams to agile working practices while delivering time pressured greenfield products within environments historically architected for monolithic critical infrastructure.

Making working practice changes e.g. from waterfall to agile, or, transitioning from stable release schedule to continuous delivery, bring significant risks. Product delivery, user experience, data quality and security are just a few areas that are under threat. To minimise and mitigate these risks requires a strategic approach and strong leadership which I can provide.

If you wish to build effective multi-disciplinary teams that can deliver excellent solutions in a time-frame acceptable to the business - I can help. I can deliver teams the right tools (mental and technical) to break down silos, communicate effectively with every stakeholder and drive the delivery to meet the company and product vision. This area of my work I find particularly important, and one in which I have significant experience.

Coming from a strong development background(), I have proven skills throughout the software development lifecycle; these include analysis, design, architecture, full stack development (including testing), implementation and support; I have working knowledge of delivering to on-premise hardware, and with cloud providers.

Picking the appropriate architecture is essential: I have leveraged existing monolithic platforms, built new Microservices alongside (hybrid cloud), built cloud only, and utilised PAAS.

Technology varies accordingly and is not limited to:
