My interest in software development was nurtured by a revisiting some of Object Oriented Programming lectures from my University days and their application to Chemical Engineering, in which I hold a degree in. I eventually developed a desire to build things using code. After using, C and C++ in University, the prospect of writing code in C# became rather appealing. Working at a job building code that was readable that could save the world seemed an attractive alternative to handling a radioactive source, in a war torn country. I built a basic flappy bird game among other notable arcade classics in Unity.
I have since been in the trenches at Makers Academy, Europes best coding bootcamp, building applications in Ruby and JavaScript, using best practices in TDD, SOLID using agile principles.
I hope to work in a Full Stack Developer capacity, with other like minded individuals who are enthused about writing clean code, use Test Driven Development, perhaps whilst picking up a few more languages along the way.

📖 Skills
Working for Halliburton involved travelling to remote locations to run million dollar projects and have the data acquired on site sent over a VPN back to town realtime. Due to the lack of resources in these locations and logistical challenges, Problem solving was ingrained in day to day work. Working around power shutdowns, safety drills, electronic interference, troubleshooting of surface and downhole sensors were part of day to day operation.
- 7 Years experience as an Engineer in the Oil and Gas Sector
- Was directly involved in Drilling the deepest Extended Reach Wells in the Middle East
Interruption of Sensor Data could involve stopping an on-site operation in order to troubleshoot. Rig costs could range between $300,000 to several million dollars per day. This loss in time could be charged back to our company if the Non-Productive-Time (NPT) was significant (usually half an hour). With only two individuals representing Halliburton on-site, one covering each shift, I was making crucial decisions that maintained a smooth operation.
