I am a highly versatile, and innovative Software Engineer professional with over 10 years industry experience. I absolutely love programming and the thrill of designing and implementing a complete software solution, using best practices throughout. I have extensive experience in a collaborative team environment, both participating and leading. I can context switch at speed and have been happy to move in and out of teams to help in areas outside of my core skill-set as required. I am experienced with Java, along with C/C++. I have strong multi-threading design skills, excellent Unix (Linux) skills, and knowledge of general OO Design techniques. I have experience with Apache Hadoop, in particular Beam based applications targeting both Flink and Spark, being deployed via Yarn. I also have a lot of experience with diagnosing and solving core dumps and memory leaks.
