Hi 👋 I'm Chris — I'm a Principal Software Engineer and technical leader based in the UK.

My Portfolio aims to outline my skills, experience and achievements so far in my career, as well as showcase some of own personal work, and also introduce a little bit more about me.

I've been in the professional software industry since 2016, working across software consultancy and global enterprise, and now lead engineering teams delivering business-critical systems.

I have broad experience across the whole software development life cycle, from hands-on full-stack development through to technical leadership and architecture. Today I specialise in data, analytics and AI engineering on Azure, with a strong background in full-stack JavaScript and TypeScript.

I am a Principal Software Engineer at Shell, working in LNG Trading within Trading & Supply.

I help lead a globally distributed engineering team supporting Shell LNG Marketing and Trading's Short-Term Trading desks across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

I work closely with Traders and Trading Analysts, combining front-office understanding with strong software engineering to deliver business-critical analytics and applications.

Software development is a passion of mine, and something I like to spend my spare time doing also to help me up-skill and experiment with different technologies.

I run a tech blog which I post to occasionally to share new experiences, things I have built, and problems I have solved. I also enjoy attending local conferences like LeedsJS, Vue Conf and many others.

I'm not a total techie — I also have a keen interest in sports, video games, theatre and cooking.
