  Primarily focusing on iOS development, I have been working with several big clients. I am currently leading the iOS project, which involves being responsible for communicating with the client and managing the team, with 8 developers on iOS. All work has a focus on clean code and an agile way of working. Often pair programming with colleagues in different offices and countries. Regularly use TDD to ensure code is developed to the highest quality and most safe state. Experimented with Flutter, a new cross platform tool using Dart, and also helped with the setup and creation of behaviour driven testing using Cucumberish on iOS. Also heavily involved with the organisation of GDG Liverpool, which meets monthly. I also launched the new Swift Society meetup in Liverpool, and spoke on Firebase at the first event.
