About me: I'm a full stack web developer with a background in product management and working in electronic hardware consultancies (mainly business roles), 15 YoE all up. I really enjoy working with hardware / companies doing embedded software, and sitting at the intersection between those two fields. While I haven't done any actual embedded development in a very long time, I have a good understanding of the field as a whole and the challenges it faces in relation to UI and UX, and really enjoy the people.
Recently I've been contracting to an AgTech startup providing geospatial SaaS products - and wearing practically every hat they throw at me. I'll have a go at anything to get what needs doing done, but my sweet spot is definitely full stack development, working closely with customers, and melding web tech UI and UX experiences to hardware platforms. Also recently helped another AgTech start up build a custom milk order and delivery system that had some custom requirements resulting in them not being able to use off the shelf eCommerce platforms.
I'm very comfortable fronting client / customer interactions and working through specification development, working out what customers actually want and need, doing mock ups, through to actual development. I really enjoy the challenge of balancing technical and business requirements into good fit-for-purpose solutions.
I am open to both contract and full-time roles, or just a coffee chat if you happen to be Christchurch.
