Experience
The road here
More than six years in production software, from solo freelance apps to looking after IT and development projects overall.

Now
Senior Software Engineer
Forteve
I look after IT and software development projects overall: architecture, code, releases, servers and the people building them. Before this I led mobile development there.
- Set the technical direction across mobile, web and back-end work.
- Plan delivery in two-week sprints and review code.
- Mentor developers and keep releases and infrastructure healthy.

My own business. I designed, built and run TaxiDex, a multi-tenant taxi dispatch SaaS, and stegnor.com, the website of my company.
- Own every layer of TaxiDex: API, portal, Flutter apps and servers.
- Run production myself, including backups, monitoring and mail.
- Handle billing, security and search visibility alongside the code.

Day to day
What looking after IT projects means
Architecture
Choosing the stack, the data model and the boundaries before they become expensive to change.
Delivery
Two-week sprints, a working demo at the end of each, and a plan that stays honest about risk.
Code quality
Reviews, tests on the parts that matter most, and mentoring so the team gets better as it ships.
Infrastructure
Servers, deploys, monitoring, backups, domains and mail, so nothing important belongs to nobody.
Security
Access, secrets, patching, security headers and the routine work that stops small problems becoming incidents.
People and vendors
Working with developers, founders and third parties, and turning business needs into technical decisions.
