Experience

Here's a summary of the organisations and projects I've been involved in over the years.

    As a Tech Lead on client projects, it is my job to create and maintain working conditions in which Developers can deliver the most value to the client whilst learning and progressing.

  2. Role: Coach

    At Theodo, I have coached 5 developers within the company, which I have greatly enjoyed. Through weekly coaching sessions, I drive my coachee's progression by:
    1. facilitating clarity in their goals;
