I'm Jake, a New Zealand-born Software Engineer based in London.

I'm currently seeking a new role in London after moving from Barcelona, where I've been working as a Software Engineer with Viaplay in their Sales Conversion team, holding responsibility for the checkout process of the Viaplay streaming service.

I'm a skilled and experienced full-stack engineer capable of producing lasting and efficient solutions to large-scale problems.

Prior to Viaplay, I have gained experience in both full-time employment and freelance positions, including 6 years as Director of a software development agency based between New Zealand and the UK. I pride myself on my attention to detail, approach to problem solving, and skills in working in a team - with a unique perspective on balancing requirements and managing resources due to my agency experience.

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering with First Class Honours from the University of Canterbury.
