I have spent many years building accessible, high-traffic digital products for cultural and public-facing organisations, with a focus on reliability, performance, and user experience. In my current role, I lead technical development, manage a small team of developers, and contribute to architectural decisions, delivery planning, and stakeholder alignment. I enjoy working across the full stack, from backend services and APIs to modern frontend applications, and I have hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, search systems, and observability tools. I also bring a design background, which helps me collaborate effectively on product, brand, and interface work while keeping accessibility and clarity at the centre of delivery. I am particularly interested in roles where I can combine technical leadership, engineering quality, and product thinking to deliver meaningful digital experiences. ## Skills 38 capabilities[Accessibility](https://jobicy.com/talent/accessibility.md)[Adobe Illustrator](https://jobicy.com/talent/adobe-illustrator.md)[adobe indesign](https://jobicy.com/talent/adobe-indesign.md)[Adobe Photoshop](https://jobicy.com/talent/adobe-photoshop.md)[Agile](https://jobicy.com/talent/agile.md)[Automated Testing](https://jobicy.com/talent/automated-testing.md)[Azure](https://jobicy.com/talent/azure.md)[BASH](https://jobicy.com/talent/bash.md)[Brand Identity](https://jobicy.com/talent/brand-identity.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Claude Code](https://jobicy.com/talent/claude-code.md)[Code Review](https://jobicy.com/talent/code-review.md)[CSS](https://jobicy.com/talent/css.md)[Django](https://jobicy.com/talent/django.md)[Elasticsearch](https://jobicy.com/talent/elasticsearch.md)[Git](https://jobicy.com/talent/git.md)[Graphic Design](https://jobicy.com/talent/graphic-design.md)[GraphQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/graphql.md)[HTML5](https://jobicy.com/talent/html5.md)[JavaScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/javascript.md)[Linux](https://jobicy.com/talent/linux.md)[Next.js](https://jobicy.com/talent/next-js.md)[Oracle](https://jobicy.com/talent/oracle.md)[PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/postgresql.md)[Prompt Engineering](https://jobicy.com/talent/prompt-engineering.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[React](https://jobicy.com/talent/react.md)[SASS](https://jobicy.com/talent/sass.md)[Scrum](https://jobicy.com/talent/scrum.md)[Technical Documentation](https://jobicy.com/talent/technical-documentation.md)[TypeScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/typescript.md)[Typography](https://jobicy.com/talent/typography.md)[Varnish](https://jobicy.com/talent/varnish.md)[Vercel](https://jobicy.com/talent/vercel.md)[Vite](https://jobicy.com/talent/vite.md)[Wagtail](https://jobicy.com/talent/wagtail.md)[WCAG 2.1 AA](https://jobicy.com/talent/wcag-2-1-aa.md)[Zustand](https://jobicy.com/talent/zustand.md) ## Experience Career history ### Senior Developer · Private company Jan 2023 – PresentLead the Digital Product team’s technical development, manage a team of web developers, and own technical decision-making for Tate’s website and audience-facing digital products.
