  Most recently I’ve been writing a GraphQL layer for Comcast’s customer service team. I rolled an Apollo server to collate their various REST-based APIs exposing a modern GraphQL layer to allow the front end React team to excel. This involved architecture, engineering & rollout of authentication and caching strategies. Most recently I’ve been writing a GraphQL layer for Comcast’s customer service team.

  • Sep 2017 - Feb 2020

  I architected and delivered low latency, high availability micro-services for DAZN.com written in Javascript and deployed using a plethora of AWS technologies where appropriate. During big events, our services needed to handle millions of transactions connecting to third-party services like Adyen, PayPal, and Zuora. I had a particularly strong hand in designing the payment workflows ensuring we captured and tracked funds against a user's subscription. Many of the third parties we integrated with could not handle the traffic generated by live events so another big part of the job was using SQS and StepFunctions to throttle and drip feed third parties asynchronously as not to overwhelm downstream systems. The role involved liaising with many teams and business stakeholders along with helping to bring new hires up to speed and ensuring best practices. Show less
