Overview

I've spent 20 years on embedded systems - first at Farfetch, now at Santander. Moved 93% of firmware traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Wrote the RTOS service that now handles 56 million requests a day. Before that: Just Eat Takeaway and LVMH. Most at home with ARM Cortex-M and embedded Linux. Volunteer coding coach for school students.
