Personal Notes
I have been programming for the majority of my life, starting with Game Development and working on personal assistants when I was young to working in Web Development as an adult.
I am an advocate for easily maintainable code, that even new developers can hop onto.
I have always dreamed of building a truly intelligent house, and have been a big fan of home automation and personal assistants, and working on it for years.

Work Experience
GoDaddy - Senior Software Engineer (November 2021 - Present)
- Developed critical services for the new Managed WooCommerce Stores platform up post-merger
Services included modern rewrites of old code, as well as translation layers and clients for the greater GoDaddy ecosystem. To work on these, I was required to design and spec out the work, as well as implement much of the foundational core for these services and tools.
- Lead developer on V2 development for the Managed WooCommerce Stores platform
Version 2 is an extensive change from our older platform under Pagely, and requires an extensive redesign and rewrite to get working. To achieve this, I was set out to lead projects through the initial conception stage all the way to completion, working closely with my colleagues and planning out the work that is necessary.
- Migrating CDN provider for customers
Was a lead developer on migrating CDN providers from AWS CloudFront to Cloudflare due to missing features in AWS CloudFront. This switch provided faster setup times and better performance for our customers.
- Maintenance of the in-house web framework
The in-house framework used on the Pagely architecture has been in development for many years and I have been tasked to lead the charge on modernizing it and making it more feature rich and useful for employees, while removing a lot of technical debt. Some notable improvements are: fixing issues related to validation and authentication, allowing unauthenticated users to investigate unvalidated data structures; Ability to deprecate endpoints and record and clean up all cases where an endpoint should no longer be used; And introducing new testing tools to speed up test writing and create better more thorough tests.
