I believe that I am a well rounded individual who can demonstrate soft and technical skills. I have had a number of roles from sales, technical support to software programming. I have a keen eye for business and business processes and normally see new opportunities before they become the norm. Software developing is my passion and my most highly developed skill. I have been programming in various different languages since I was seven years old and over this time I have built the confidence to take on new ones whether to further my career or to express my creativity. This has enabled me to become a extremely good problem solver and adaptable programmer; able to use many tools and resources to find solid solutions . I believe that time permitting, anything can be created.

Sage API Project (Secondment) @ I've been seconded to work with the Sage API Developer Team, Architects, Stakeholders from the UK and Spain to help bring to life the Sage API Portal. I have designed and configured the Sage API Portal, to give it the 'Sage'​ look and feel as well as added custom functionality. I have liaised and worked with Developers, Lead Architects in the UK and in Spain, Project Managers, Business Analysts and external partners like Microsoft. Within the first two months I recognised the short comings of the portal in regards to documentation and it's management. So I designed and developed a cloud based API document management system that is used to create, edit and update versioned API documentation as well as to manage a number other API specification tasks. The Sage API Portal automatically displays the custom documentation for each API operation. Myself and the rest of the API Developer team now use it to manage the API documentation and is likely to be rolled out to the rest of Europe and the US. Some of technologies I have used to for this project are - Angular.js, Javascript, JSON, HTML, CSS, WebAPI and a number of Azure Cloud Services.
