+\maketitle
+
+A software engineer with 6+ years experience primarily developing
+high-availability web applications for businesses, often using Python
+and JavaScript.  As of 2021, I'm looking for ethical and sustainable
+opportunities within the software industry. The current business models
+of technical surveillance are quite disillusioning. I am open to working
+with all sectors but particularly the green and renewable sector,
+communications and audio. I wish to expand my technical acumen, be a
+part of interesting projects and make a difference.

+		\item Cross-functional, agile teams.
+		\item Moved into senior role, mentoring engineers and
+presenting ideas at the monthly all-teams sessions.
+		\item Leant towards back-end API development: championed
+refactoring and local architectural design of complex REST/SOAP
+integrations as well as being a voice for security across Digital.
+		\item Largely Python, JavaScript, SQL with Django and
+React often providing development frameworks.
+		\item I were also lucky enough to participate in
+\href{https://xpsurgery.com/}{Kevin Rutherford's XP Surgery} as well as
+\href{https://www.weareupfront.com/}{Lauren Currie's Upfront workshop}.
+These are software craftmanship and public speaking workshops

+Shoreditch based startup working in the travel and tourism marketing
+industry.
+		\item Working alongside some very experienced engineers,
+I were responsible for making machine learning code production ready
+(testing, QA, refactoring); setting up build/test/deploy pipelines;
+containerizing releases with Docker etc.
+		\item I also were introduced into Haskell as this was
+used heavily for creating type-safe front/backends.  Haskell and FP
+remain influential and encouraged me to learn Haskell proper as well as
+study Category Theory in my spare time.
