I'm a developer working in the GOV.UK Forms team from my home in south London.
This is my personal readme, sometimes called a runbook, or a manual for me. If you're reading this, we're probably working together, and I'd like to make that process as great as possible!
You will find me very direct in my speech and plans. I write code to solve problems, and anything that is not writing code I see as an overhead. Many overheads, such as research and documentation are necessary, but I am hyper-aware that we're here to build a product, not beautiful meeting minutes.
I dislike solving the same problems that others have, or talking a lot with no clear goals.
I am very receptive to feedback. I change my mind when presented with evidence. I will thank you genuinely when given clear, targeted feedback.
Online, async, Monday-Wednesday, 9-5. I am delighted to meet with my collagues in-person once per sprint for planning, lunch, more planning, and after-work drinks.
I don't typically have any issues with stress. I am very good at compartmentalisation, and don't let difficulties in some task affect others.
I like to work in an agile environment, where I deliver incremental software features into production many times a week.
Playing music and tabletop games with friends, I also write and produce fiction podcasts! (Lost Terminal & Modem Prometheus)
Thanks for reading!
