a cool guy.
I'm a Northern Irish technology consultant (i.e. half-developer & half-powerpoint-builder), with a main professional focus on back-end enterprise system integration. Also I play games, do recreational coding & puzzles, and other stuff..
Since 2017, I have been working as a Technology Consultant within the Deloitte NI's Systems Design & Engineering team. My main (but not exclusive) focus has been as an API developer on client projects; developing and implementing Mulesoft Integration platforms, by building microservice applications using an API-led connectivity approach.
Also, I have worked closely with the Deloitte IIoT team, getting hands-on experience creating physical demonstrators to highlight the benefits of using IoT in industrial settings. (e.g. Think attaching sensors to a factory's conveyor belt motors, and using analytics to predict and prevent failures before they occur..)
As part of my own personal learning and development, I have been completing an introductory Udemy course in web development: The Complete 2020 Web Development Bootcamp. (Actually, if you're reading this, that's the only reason this website exists, as practice to see if I could make a "half-decent" looking website...)
Previously, I graduated from the University of York with a BSc in Mathematics, where I specialised in pure mathematics, with favourites of group theory and cryptography. As such, I'm always partial to some recreational mathematics to scratch that itch:
During the COVID-19 lockdown, I have begun hosting a remote Film Club via Zoom. (Summary & Random Film Chooser).
Similarly, at the same time, we also started a Book Club. (Summary & Random Book Chooser).
I do like traveling (who doesn't), but to be honest, I just like this little icon and wanted to use it..
