Mid-level Python developer with over five years experience, continually upgrading skills, including: FastAPI, AIOHTTP, Flask, Pytest, Behave, Google Cloud Platform, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Strawberry, GitHub Actions and GitLab CI. Logical, with a proven track record for requirements analysis and systems development within a wide range of business domains. Highly capable and precise, with the ability to design and develop an idea for a variety of complex problems, from initial concept through to final completed product. Contributed to streamlining Newcastle Building Society’s prepaid card reconciliation process into a service-oriented architecture that managed accounting for 1.5+ million cards, issued within six European countries.

I have a variety of developer skills, including: Python, Docker, Docker-Compose, Github / GitLab, Github Actions, FastAPI and PostgreSQL

I have over 5 years commercial experience as a backend software developer, implementing applications from initial concept through to final product. I have worked in squads of 4/5 developers, with responsibilities including:
requirements analysis, design and implementing test suites for BDD and TDD (functional, unit/integration and user acceptance). During this time I have written concise technical and user documentation.

Working within a squad of 4/5 developers I have reported progress in daily standup meetings, conducted remote demonstrations of sprint features that I have implemented and conducted knowledge sharing ceremonies.

I am interested in remote work opportunities as a mid-level Python backend developer, ideally involving greenfield projects. My bio outlines that I have experience of designing and developing Python RESTful and GraphQL APIs for a range of business domains. I invite you to visit my GitLab profile ( for examples of additional technologies that I have used.
