Curriculum vitae

Work

What I've built, and the discipline I bring to it.

Roles

Software Developer

Smedley Group Advanced Technology, Upper Heyford

Oct 2023 – Present 3 yrs

Global electric karting events company with operations in the UK and US. I'm part of a small engineering team reporting to the Head of Advanced Technology. Small enough that every project means owning the problem end-to-end: understanding the domain, building the system, deploying it, and keeping it running.

Selected work

Driver Performance System

Runs automatically at the end of every session, so results arrive during the event.

Live Telemetry Platform

Real-time visibility into kart health · onboarded and mentored junior developer.

Event Management Dashboard

Consolidated three operator workflows behind one interface.

Kart Programming Tool

ECU programming accessible to non-technical staff.

Data Analyst Intern

Sports4Cast, Remote

Mar 2023 – Oct 2023 8 mo

Developed a predictive model for World Rally Championship (WRC) results. Ranked each participant in a WRC event by considering a comprehensive array of factors including driver, co-driver, vehicles, tyre choice, and terrain to generate forecasts of event results.

Selected work

WRC Predictive Model

Predictive ranking model for live WRC events.

Stack

Day-to-day I work in C# / .NET for almost everything. Most comfortable with serverless and event-driven systems on AWS. Python when the work is dataframe-heavy. TypeScript for web apps (Angular) and for CDK, where the TypeScript bindings are better supported than the .NET ones.

Data: MongoDB by default, InfluxDB for time series. PostgreSQL I know academically rather than in practice. Messaging: NATS, SQS/SNS. Infrastructure as code via AWS CDK. xUnit for testing. Docker for containerisation.

Working knowledge of React, Java/Kotlin, F#. Comfortable picking up new technologies.
