I'm Sean 👋
I've been developing software in one way or another since 2014 and have been professionally developing software since March 2020 - what a month to start!!
So far, I've worked across the insurance, health, geospatial and security industries for both private and public sector stakeholders.
I'm flexible with paradigms - OOP, functional, procedural and so on. But I heavily believe in writing the test first (TDD). And better still, writing behavioural tests first (Behavioural TDD). You'll see my portfolio is full of this. I want to press a button that tells me if everything works and trust it. Anything less means we have work to do. I prefer pair programming and trunk-based development, given the choice.
I place a strong emphasis on CI/CD and have most Cloud experience in Azure with DotNet. But I can do whatever needs doing really. I view myself as a T-shaped developer that delivers vertical slices of product-focused features rather than horizontally-sliced components of features (backend only/frontend only/infrastructure only etc).
I have too many hobbies.
Currently, I'm focused on training for swimming twice a week (my coach pushes me too much!) and have some upcoming open-water swims.
Otherwise, I've been known to:
- Golf
- Surf
- Arduino
- Get wound up playing Elden Ring
- Fish
- Go clay disc shooting
- Fall off bikes
