## About

A motivated, conscientious and astute individual who strives for a career in engineering, software and technology. From achieving my degree in Mechatronics (Bsc) and being a Device maintainer and Software Engineer for Paranoid Android, I regard myself as an effective team player with a motivated and energetic attitude in performing tasks. I also have a strong aptitude for learning and improving new skills. Through previously working in information and statistical roles for the Scottish Government, I have a developed understanding of IT equipment, and adapt well to new technology.

## Experience

- **Software Engineer at Amazon** (2021 – 2025)
  Started as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon Development Center in Edinburgh in August 2021.
- **Temp Agricultural Census Officer at The Scottish Government** (2013 – 2014)
- **Fulfillment Associate at Amazon** (2018 – 2021)
  Associate working in the Customer Returns (CR) department. Trained in several roles, primarily as a Problem Solver and Instructor. Over the course of the 2020/21 Peak I have been given the opportunity to be the Proxy Lead for both the Stow and Tranship Out teams within Customer Returns. These were technical and responsible positions which I felt suited my abilities well. Being the Team Lead Proxy has given me the possibility to demonstrate my skills as a leader and the ability to make swift decisions on the shop floor. As a Problem Solver I was given the responsibility to rectify errors in inventory and quality whilst taking the responsibility to act as a support and keeping all related processes running as they should. My role extended to quality control and data gathering for management to aid in decision making in projects they were investigating. Took the opportunity to become an instructor in the non-con CR department to develop as an individual and to ensure the knowledge and skills gained are passed on to new hires in an engaging and effective way.

  I worked with the 2021 Census Team and specifically with Statistical Disclosure Control. Tasks included documentation of SAS Code for future use, work on Data Dictionaries and preparing for stakeholder consultation.
- **Device Maintainer and Software Engineer at Paranoid Android - AOSPA** (2015 – present)
  I am currently a maintainer of Sony devices for the Paranoid Android after market Operating System for Android Devices. We currently base all Sony devices on Sony's Open Devices project keeping up with mainline AOSP code.
  
  Current roles are maintaining the Sony family of devices modifying their code structure to work with our codebase which is based on Qualcomms Code Aurora Forum (CAF).
- **Temp Agricultural Census Officer at The Scottish Government** (2014 – 2017)
