Working as a part of the Quest for Business and Meta Horizon Developer teams to enable businesses and education institutions to use Meta Quest devices, as well as those developing for the Quest ecosystem. I have enhanced the insights platform that allow admins to monitor the health of their device fleet, as well as expanding the proactive alerting to cover these insights. Additionally, I have played a key role in the expansion of Managed Meta Accounts, with a particular focus on onboarding and education, and navigation between products.

I have worked on high-impact projects enabling Horizon worlds creators and large scale enterprise developers to build for the Meta Horizon ecosystem, most high profile being Meta Horizon Hyperscape.

In addition to feature support, I have been especially commended for building an inclusive and welcoming working environment for those around me, and ensuring my teams have felt more connected and supported.

Lead developer on an internal collaborative project idea registry tool, built using AWS service, ReactJS and a Python backend. Leading backlog refinement, project design sessions and sprint planning, as well as architecture planning and code reviews. Support and mentor junior engineers and apprentices, interview candidates and maintain team morale through organising socials and meetups. Single-handedly organised a summer social for a 500 person organisation, and received positive reviews, including from directors.

Leading the design, planning and development of two business critical tools, including an audit tool working in the order of 1000s of transactions per minute, with a focus on security and scalability. These efforts involve requirements gathering, viability assessments and technical design document writing, as well as headcount requirement analysis, stakeholder update reporting and mentoring junior members of the team.

Working within the Region Services UK organisation, I worked with two service teams to automate their, previously manual, processes to build their service into new AWS regions. This work leveraged an internal, Ruby based Infrastructure as Code framework, and build orchestration systems. For one of these services, this work reduced their build process from at least 8 person weeks, to two calendar weeks with no manual effort required from the team.

During my second month, I automated a process to back-up engineers' cloud VM development environments to an S3 bucket. The exist process to do this was manual and complex, through years of Wiki updates and other documentation attachments, and would take two days to complete. Using Python and Boto, I built a command line tool that does the entire process in 20 minutes, and it has been adopted as the official mechanism for engineers to use globally.

Full-Stack, Kubernetes and Cloud Engineer in the Cloud Pak for Integration, responsible for Automation assets (formerly the Asset Repository). Automation assets is a capability that enables users to share reusable assets between products in the Pak, as well as their colleagues, and is built using technologies such as Node.js, specifically the Express.js and React frameworks, CouchDB and OpenShift/Kubernetes. Lead developer for the Automation assets' Kubernetes Operator, which is written in Golang, to extend the Kubernetes API and provide more control over the resources deployed during the installation, using a combination of AWS and IBM Cloud for development and testing. Four months after joining the team, led the rewrite of the backend microservice, which reduced the average request time by 67%.

Work closely with product/offering management on developing the product roadmap, and on client briefings and support calls, where a strong knowledge-base and communication skills enable fast resolution of mission critical issues. Mentor new starters through onboarding, and continue to act as a career and technical mentor to a number of interns and recent graduates, as well as mentoring university students looking to enter the industry.

Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, maintained team morale running regular virtual social events, including a fancy dress contest at Halloween and a Secret Santa at Christmas, which was recognised by senior technical and business leaders.
