Software engineering graduate pursuing an MSc in Computer Science (predicted Distinction), specialising in cross-platform application development with Flutter and C++. Proven leader with a track record of rapid progression and shipping real software.
I'm a software engineer based in Staffordshire, currently completing an MSc in Computer Science at Keele University (predicted Distinction), having previously graduated with a 2:1 BSc in Software Engineering from UCLan.
I specialise in cross-platform application development — building apps that work seamlessly across Android, iOS, and web using Flutter and Dart, backed by solid server-side logic. I'm also comfortable in C++ and enjoy working close to the metal when the problem calls for it.
Alongside my studies, I've built real leadership experience managing teams under pressure — skills I bring directly into how I approach collaborative software projects. I'm a Professional BCS Member and take building ethical, well-engineered software seriously.
Real-time multiplayer gaming platform built as my MSc dissertation. Features live game rooms, matchmaking, and real-time state synchronisation across iOS, Android, and web from a single Flutter codebase, with a Node.js and Socket.IO backend handling persistent connections and game logic.
Full-featured cross-platform mobile app built as my undergraduate final year project. Implemented user authentication, persistent data storage, and third-party API integration — developed end-to-end using Agile methodology with regular sprint reviews.
Got a side project, tool, or contribution in the works? Add it here — even small utilities or scripts demonstrate initiative and real-world problem solving to prospective employers.
Postgraduate study covering advanced software engineering, distributed systems, algorithms, and HCI. Dissertation project focused on real-time multiplayer cross-platform architecture using Flutter and Socket.IO. Predicted Distinction.
Promoted twice within a year for exceptional performance. Lead 10+ team members across daily operations, consistently exceeding KPI targets — average delivery under 25 minutes, labour under 24%. Developed leadership, process optimisation, and communication skills directly applicable to software project management.
Three-year degree covering software design, OOP, data structures, web development, databases, and Agile methodology. Final year project: a full cross-platform Flutter app with authentication, data storage, and API integration. Key modules included Advanced Programming with C++.
Promoted to supervisor within 3 months. Oversaw operations across three venues — shop, café, and bar — coordinating staff and maintaining service quality in a high-pressure environment.
Currently open to new opportunities in software engineering. Whether it's a full-time role, a contract, or just a conversation — drop me a line.
