About Me

I'm always looking for the hint of good in people. We can create a better world by understanding ourselves and others. I believe that a natural path to empathy would be through education and communication. Technology has enabled us to be more human than ever, even if we still have a long way to go. In my work, knowing what I am doing is meaningful is important to me; That my efforts have an impact on someone's quality of life.

I prefer communicating in writing or alternatively in person. Phones are detached & uncomposed; With my personality & dyslexia (auditory), they can be a huge struggle.

Work

Currently my occupation is as a Fullstack Developer at The Hive Group, which has two companies. The Hive Group has a philosophy to improve outcomes for patients by creating change in healthcare communications.

As a Fullstack Developer my role involves hands-on development, prototyping, research, testing and supporting the rest of the tech team and also consultation with the rest of the group. Skills are ever changing with the fast-pace of web development. Aside from mastering HTML, CSS & JavaScript, I've been very proactive in picking up Cordova, Node.js, Electron and Arduino as new platforms as they were introduced to the public. I feel that these platforms have considerably expanded what is possible using web technology and radically rewritten the meaning of what it means to be a web developer today.

Hive is a creative healthcare agency of The Hive Group that has always put patients at the heart of strategies. Making a real difference to people, by looking at opportunities for patients and healthcare professionals.

Pollen is a medical communications consultancy of The Hive Group, using storytelling to help bring understanding. Developing narratives that help people to experience information, rather than absorb it passively.
