Work

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

Roles

Software Developer

Smedley Group Advanced Technology, Upper Heyford

Oct 2023 – Present 2 yrs 10 mo

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

Reduced manual analysis time significantly per event.

Live Telemetry Platform

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

Event Management Dashboard

Significantly reduced event setup time.

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, PostgreSQL when relational matters more than speed, InfluxDB for time series. 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.
