Responsibility for a team that has expanded from 3.5 FTE developers in 2010 to 13 FTE developers in 2021 and for the software engineering service that maintains a number of products utilised across the University. This includes analysing skills and development needs within the team and facilitating appropriate training.

Specification, design and delivery of software to meet the business needs of the University
Technical leadership on the adoption of new technologies, including the introduction of Scala and React and managing the upskilling of the team to build products using it

I have led and delivered on a number of new system developments during my time, including:
Tabula, a student administration and management system. This system was developed in Scala on top of the Spring framework in order to manage assessments, small group management and allocation, attendance monitoring and marks management at the University. This system also acts as the critical integration point with the various off the shelf systems relating to Student Records, allowing downstream systems to integrate with student data in a managed, auditable way.
AEP, a system for delivering online exams. The system was architected in a 6-week period from March-April 2020 in Scala, using the Play framework. The system was architected to be highly resilient, allowing 20,000 students to take exams online simultaneously.

In addition I have architected and implemented a shift to stateless horizontally scaled compute, allowing new nodes to be created and serving requests within minutes to handle increases in load where necessary.

As a Senior Software Engineer at the University of Warwick, I led the design of and development of web systems to support staff and student activities at the University, primarily in Java. These included the University's CMS, a search engine, a personalised portal for staff and students, and other systems.
