Lead engineer, Bath/Bristol. I build and run production systems end to end.
About
I've been a software engineer for seven years, in consultancy, product and defence. I lead engineering at Calvium, building Next.js and Nuxt systems for clients including Arts Council England and Rolls-Royce.
Outside work I've built two production products by myself. Dizzy.gg is a rankings and tournament platform used by communities across three games. LLB Dojo is a training tool for a single game, and its daily puzzle ran unattended for more than 90 days. I designed, built and host both.
Before engineering I taught secondary computing. A lot of my work away from the code comes from that: running study groups and a graduate bootcamp, mentoring engineers, interviewing for senior and lead roles, and giving talks.
Work
Three products at different scales: a platform for any game, a deep tool for one game, and an app built in an afternoon.
The general platform
Rankings and tournament platform for multiple games. Glicko-2 ratings, live brackets and start.gg imports, on web and mobile.
in its first three months, built and run by one person
The deep single-game tool
Positioning trainer for Lethal League Blaze. Custom 2D physics engine, and a daily puzzle scored by expert consensus that rotated itself every week.
The afternoon build
Fairness-optimising table-draw manager for a local riichi mahjong club. Tested draw engine, seeded optimiser, no backend. Built in one afternoon.
