About
An English 🇬🇧 guy living in Denmark 🇩🇰, with a short two year stop via The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Background
Having spent more than ten years in the software development industry, I have taken on roles of increasing responsibility and complexity. Beginning my professional journey at proFound Mining as a Junior Programmer, I developed my fundamental skills in full-stack web and desktop application development.
My career has spanned several renowned firms, from Coolblue in The Netherlands to my latest role as a Software Architect at BESTSELLER . I am proficient in an array of programming languages and development tools such as C#, .NET, .NET Core, JavaScript, TypeScript, F#, and others. My hands-on experience extends to improving application stability, automating development pipelines, migrating systems, and upskilling teams on modern development practices.
Cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure and AWS are well within my work arena, and I have managed several projects using Git, GitHub, and Bitbucket. While I truly enjoy the depth of back-end systems and their architecture, I'm also comfortable navigating front-end languages like React and TypeScript. I place great importance on Agile methodologies, Domain Driven Design, and testing – all key components in my toolbox for effective software development.
In short, I pride myself on my ability to bridge the gap between business needs and technological solutions. The journey so far has been both rewarding and enlightening, and I look forward to continued growth ahead as I encounter new challenges.
