I am a Manchester based Front-End Developer, Data Scientist and
Digital Artist. I work freelance & contract for my company
AvocadoGreen
I've been paid as a Front-End Developer, Data Scientist, Project
Manager, Hiring Manager, Social Media Manager, Digital Artist,
Business Developer and more. I appreciate that's a bit much!
In my spare time I organise PyDataMCR, teach mathematics and win
pub quizzes. I write blogs about agile working, recruitment and
beyond
over here.
Since 2018 I have been working freelance for a collection of
clients.
As a Front-End Developer I work with clients to bring Digital Art
experiences into reality.
As a Project Manager, I always bring an agile approach to work.
Where it is lacking, I install it. Expect regular updates on
timelines and work completed.
As a Data Scientist I work with companies to create prototype
projects and help the industry dip into the world of Machine
Learning.
At this fashion retailer I developed a credit application product,
and lead Spotify-style guilds. I stayed for 5 months, before moving
on with pre-covid travel plans.
Developed and maintained products within a Next app, writing React,
Redux and TypeScript.
Tests were written in Jest, RTL and Cypress.
A component library with developed in-tandem with Storybook.
Developed Guilds with daily programming challenges, weekly developer
activities and monthly speaker slots at community events.
At Telux I participated in the creation of a React project to manage
different types of telephones owned by a company.
Noticing a lack in product ownership I performed the requirements
gathering, ticket breakdown of tasks and managed the expectations of
the larger business. I managed a weekly mastery time session where I
focused on individuals weaknesses and set up sessions of teaching,
presenting as well as weekly challenges to grow the team.
I introduced tooling such as: linting, automated testing, pre-commit
hooks, deployments as well as Visual Regression testing.
Working in Data Science at Laterooms has given me an oppurtunity to
apply my tools as a Software Engineer to a more mathematical and
academic field.
In my time here I have worked on the Hotel Ranking Algorithm,
MLWords (A project which automates the generation of AdWords
Campaigns), and many smaller investigations and models.
Managed the creation of all new cobrands for the company as well as
the removal of redundant cobrands. We use Agile methodologies to
work in a large team without conflict in HTML, SCSS and JS.
I am a big believer in User Experience and have given two brown bags
"How to fake it til you make it: a case study" and "CSS as a digital
art form".
Mainly focused on Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics as well as Computer Vision, Artifical Intelligence and User Experience. My final project Change Detection in Live Video.
