- a large financial institution. Java Spring Boot microservices on the
- backend, Angular on the frontend, with Kafka, MongoDB and Elasticsearch
- as supporting technologies.
- </li>
- <li>
- 2024, Scott Logic. Researched the potential of applying LLMs to
- automated accessibility testing of websites, using Langchain Python
- library, elementary prompt engineering techniques, and various scripting
- languages to knit all our data together.
- </li>
- <li>
- 2023, Scott Logic. Investigated the accessibility of the
- <a href="https://blog.scottlogic.com">Scott Logic blog</a> both manually
- and using automated tools, including pa11y and Lighthouse. Made several
- recommendations for improvements.
- </li>
- <li>
- 2023, Scott Logic. Built a social app with a React/Redux frontend and a
- Spring Boot backend, deployed via Azure Pipelines onto an AWS EC2
- instance, as part of the Scott Logic Graduate Programme.
- </li>
- <li>

- <h2>Passions</h2>
- <ul>
- <li>
- I would love to see ordinary people empowered to engage with Web
- technology as sovereign citizens, owning their own data, with the
- ability to choose freely between competing digital services. I haven't
- yet been shaken out of my naïve hope for the IndieWeb, though I
- recognise it has a long way to go before it is ready for mass adoption.
- </li>
- <li>
- I love Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world. Lots of people believe
- that there is some higher power behind the things we can see, and Jesus
- has revealed who God is by being made flesh, dying on the cross and by
- being raised to a new Resurrection life, in which we are all invited to
- participate. And I think that's pretty gnarly.
- </li>
- <li>
- I love hillwalking. A day in the hills is the best kind of rest I know.
