Hi! This is my CV

Poteris is a non-profit agency working with organisations to create positive change through technology, in particular in the third sector and civic technology spaces. As part a core team of three, I'm the only in-house software engineer, with responsibilities including building and maintaining systems that manage campaign data, architecting data models for the storage of authentication and contact information, managing the deployment of internal and external systems into the AWS cloud, and writing internal documentation for contracted technology partners.

In this role, I've worked in both TypeScript and Golang, using frameworks like Nest.js and Next.js, as well as performing DevOps tasks across both AWS and Vercel platforms.

Loudspeek provides digital advocacy solutions to some of the UK's largest progressive change campaigns and charities. I am the founder and director, and wrote the codebase myself, which processes nearly 2 million user requests per month at peak. I have experience from this role developing with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL and Redis, among various other technologies. In terms of soft skills, I also overcame significant adversity in the process of founding Loudspeek because of my age, including not being able to open a bank account for the company for more than six months until I finally persuaded a bank to do so.

I spent the summer between my second and third years at university working at Netcraft's London office as a Computer Scientist. In this role I designed and developed automated systems combating cybercrime, as well as exploring ways to work with both government agencies and upstream providers to take fraudulent content offline, protecting brands and consumers alike.

In my first year at university, this undergraduate placement scheme gave me an opportunity to experience a Magic Circle law firm. Having won my place on the scheme through my being awarded “Young Activist of the Year”, I gained some fascinating insights into corporate and commercial law, as well as opportunities to network with leading industry professionals — including from a selection of Clifford Chance clients, who presented to us during the scheme.
