I'm a competent and motivated Java software developer, with 18 months as a Java Software Developer at Spark, and 8 years of personal and academic Java software development experience.

My key achievements include adding compatibility for newer downstream services on a legacy Spring Boot microservice and delivering features for end-to-end broadband and self-service journeys at Spark, improving vehicle part discovery by 30% in a Python-based client-server application at APINZ, and developing features for a barrier-entry ANPR system for Farmgate Security.

I've had a long ten-year in Java software development.

From 2015-2020 I have been working on Java plugins for Minecraft servers, after which in 2020 I shifted to delivering projects for clients on Fiverr.

From 2020-2023 worked on Java projects at AUT, involving various design patterns, data structures, and algorithms
