About

Welcome, this is my personal website which aims to cover all the side projects I get up to in my spare time. The focus of the site will be in Software, Electronics and Information Security but I’ll stray into other areas occasionally.

Currently I work as an R&D Engineer in the BBC’s Research and Development department mainly focusing on software development and website security. I’m a full stack developer mostly using NodeJS, React, Redux and GraphQL. Most of my work in the BBC has been on a set of tools called StoryKit (formally the Object Based Media Toolkit) and as part of this I’ve been managing AWS deployments and backend infrastructure, maintaining our GoCD build server, improving PR workflow, building frontend UIs and designing and building backend APIs and infrastructure.
