Profile

I have recently joined the world's leading liberal voice as a full stack engineer.

With over 10 years of experience building for the web, I have offered services ranging from fully managed websites to transitioning away from legacy platforms. In the last 5 years, I have focussed on bringing a single source of truth and 2D and 3D visualisation.

• Designed and built entire websites with news, portfolio and forms.
• Improved Google page speed insight by 40-60 points on average on consultancy projects, meaning all web pages load fast. This was achieved by specifying better cache rules, optimizing database requests and leveraging distributed CDNs.
• World location mapping and styling with Leaflet.
• Integrated online payment with Stripe.
• Developed JSON APIs in PHP to expose data to collaborators.
• Conducted surveys in multiple languages and combined the data into live online spreadsheets.

Assuming a role of building information modelling lead (BIM), I developed internal tooling workflow, oversaw data exchange with consultants and advised on technical improvements to the company website.

• Built testing tools for key project metrics using Grasshopper, ranging from sustainability to unit mix.
• Developed solar analysis tools leading to major savings in building envelope performance.
• Leveraged BIM to deliver project documentation on tight deadlines and trained the team throughout, exceeding targets.
• Streamlined internal scheduling systems using automation & PowerQuery.

Assuming a role of technical lead, I helped defined and implement data-driven design within the practice, an internal wiki and the public website.

• Developed GIS analysis tools for development of a ski resort in Hokkaido.
• Produced pictures of an alternative 2020 Tokyo Olympic stadium, which was published in The Japan Times and ReThink Tokyo.
• Built complex digital generative and data-driven models. Taught scripting training sessions to fellow colleagues and improved workflow.
• Oversaw the transition of the office server to a faster, more robust and easy to extend infrastructure. The new system further allowed partners to access the office server remotely via VPN, a key feature when presenting projects to oversea clients.
• Built custom tools that were critical in winning two major projects in Hokkaido. Both relied on making complex spatial analysis expressed as simple and rich diagrams.
