My Journey

My career path so far

2018

Mechanical Design Engineer

Started working as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Atlas Copco

I designed bespoke industrial compressors systems for a variety of clients including oil & gas and the defence industry. I led the mechanical design of my division's most lucrative project at the time.

2020

Started studying Software Engineering

I left my job at Atlas Copco to study Software Engineering

I spent the next 18 months teaching myself how to code. No bootcamps, no university, just a lot of self-study and building projects. I supported myself by working as a self-employed handyman during this time.

2022

Started working as a Software Engineer

I started working as a Software Engineer at a small start-up called PortF

I was hired to work in a small fintech start-up into a team of 4 developers. I've worn many hats and worked deeply on every part of the stack and software development lifecycle. We have built a portfolio management system which incorporates AI features as well as a range of other tools to help our clients manage their investments. The product has been taken on by major clients including the Scottish National Investment Bank beating out rivals such as E-front.
