Curriculum vitae
What I've built, and the discipline I bring to it.
Roles
Insignis Cash, City of London
Sep 2026 – Present 2 mo
Cash deposit platform: clients hold savings across a panel of partner banks through a single account, for the rate and for the deposit protection. I'm on the PayTech team, which looks after payments. Joined September 2026; nothing to show yet.
Smedley Group Advanced Technology, Upper Heyford
Oct 2023 – Sep 2026 3 yrs
Global electric karting events company with operations in the UK and US. I was part of a small engineering team reporting to the Head of Advanced Technology. Small enough that every project meant owning the problem end-to-end: understanding the domain, building the system, deploying it, and keeping it running.
Selected work
Runs automatically at the end of every session, so results arrive during the event.
Real-time visibility into kart health · onboarded and mentored junior developer.
Consolidated three operator workflows behind one interface.
ECU programming accessible to non-technical staff.
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
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.
Selected project
A 60fps replay of real Formula 1 telemetry with no request-serving backend, running for about a pound a month.
