Experience

Sainsbury’s, London — Senior Android Engineer, OCT 2020 – Present

Here I maintain and build the main Sainsbury’s groceries app. When starting my role here, I transformed the core architecture of the app, rebuilding many of its core elements and features. I planned out the project technical debt and future technical roadmap and led and implemented modulization, clean architecture, atomic design and modern Jetpack frameworks like Navigation Component, Data Storage.

I’ve worked on a number of areas of the app including completely rebuilding Authentication with OAuth services, delivery slot functionality, Nectar offers, new checkout, substitutions Etc.

I mentored others in my team, taking a leading role in developing our internal processes and technical implementations.

Mediabrands UK, Remote — Android Consultant, AUG 2020 – OCT 2020

A short-term contract role working with third a party company (SEA) to support a TFL project for parking enforcement “PES”.

In this role I supported handing over the existing project by maintaining, correcting and updating the project, consulting on pen tests and training other developers in Android Development by designing and delivering a training program (including workshops, presentations and documentation).

Huma, London — Senior Android Developer, SEPT 2019 – JUNE 2020

A medical company building mobile solutions for monitoring and capturing a user’s health metrics. Here, I worked on a number of internal and external projects, working both independently directly with clients and in larger cross functional teams building core projects.

The solutions I built were data driven, implemented clean architecture and had a large number of modules for different features, including technical implementations to capture a user’s heart rate from a camera, using the camera to measure a user’s dimensions and integrating with many device sensors to record a user vital signs.

Development in this field required a strong focus on testing, with robust continuous integration, strict agile development process and documentation.

Mubaloo – Senior Android Developer & Technical Architect, Sept 2016 – Sept 2019

A mobile agency where I worked on Agile, Waterfall and support projects in many different industries; banking and investment, public transport, internal processing, and public facing entertainment apps (further information available on request). I gained experience working independently, in large teams across the company and directly with clients.

I performed several roles outside of development for some of our largest clients: Strategy (User Story creation, discovery), QA (test scripts) and technical architecture building technical documentation (API specs, app and service infrastructure and more).

I mentored others in my team, taking a leading role in developing internal processes. I also represent other employees by championing and actioning employee ideas at an improvement committee.

Along with Android I have worked on chat bot projects (AWS Lambdas, Dialog-Flow, JS etc.), our CI solution and supporting sites. Also actively learning Dart/Flutter, Rust and introductory iOS development.

Simply App, Bristol — Android Developer 2012

I started a company with university peers to build and create Android apps for public and private clients. I designed app mock-ups (including designs, functions, storylines, UML), coded and designed apps, editorialised and deployed apps to market, researched markets and built the company’s website.

Interests/Hobbies

Climbing

Over the last year I have taken an interest in indoor climbing after being introduced by a friend. I have found this to be a great social activity as well as a boost in fitness. In the future I hope to further this interest taking climbing outdoors to new challenges.

3D printing

Since 2014 I have had a RepRapPro Ormerod 2 printer and have printed many different things, such as DnD pieces, sculptures and some parts of my own design. This has allowed me to refresh my skills in newer CAD software and see my designs come to life.

Electronics Projects

In my spare time I always like to have some time of project going. I have made a coffee Table with a built in TV and PC to play board games on also as a showpiece.
