I'm a senior software engineer working at Vonage Ericsson, a global leader in cloud communications, for the last 6 years I've been making key contributions within the voice CPaaS API.

A natural collaborator, I've worked closely with product to proactively define and deliver modern real-time APIs and actively engaged with customers to help integrate solutions.

I write predominately fullstack JS and Native Mobile code but working across a polyglot stack I'm comfortable working with most modern languages and currently hacking in Rust because I am drawn to its potential.

• Developing scaleable web service and clients
• Native Mobile experience and aware of best pracises ( and hence implications for good API design )
• Automation and CLI tooling with JS / Python scripting
• Proficient in modern Software Development practises ( Agile, Source Control, Software Lifecycle )
• Strong communicator and able to work directly with customers to manage intergrations and problems.
