Resume

Experience

2022 - Present

CEO and Advisor

Catena

Catena was founded by myself and 2 former colleagues who are experts in the crypto domain. We realized that our combined experience of working in the crypto industry is an incredibly strong and unique asset. We offer advice on both the financial and tech aspects and work with customers in various capacities to make crypto understandable and accessible for everyone.

2020 - 2023

Lead Software Engineer

Kraken (Enterprise Solutions)

Here I built an in-house crypto remittance system. This system was able to take payments generated in 3rd party tool and distribute them in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I was also the lead on writing lots of our internal integrations, mostly related to financial data.

2018 - 2020

Software Engineer

Kraken (Prop Desk)

My responsibilities here were twofold. I was responsible for a team of engineers who were tasked with building various trading bots, mostly market maker and arbitrage bots.

The second part of my core responsibilities was analyzing white papers on a technical level for crypto projects we were thinking of investing in.

2013-2018

ServiceNow Developer

ITEO/Devoteam/Veolia/Engage ESM

Before I embarked on a more traditional software engineering path I worked with a number of companies (both as an outward facing dev/consultant and internally) helping them align their ITSM processes to ITIL and making ServiceNow work for them.

ServiceNow is a Rhino based application (Javascript in Java) which has its core build written in Java but with the flexibility to add custom javascript to manipulate core aspects of the system. It's a really neat design and it proved a valuable learning experience, understanding how businesses use tech like this to streamline their IT service desks.

Education

2008 - 2013

University Of Glasgow

Bachelor of Science (Hons)

Achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from one of the most prestigious Computer Science departments in the country.

​

This provided me with the underlying principals to forge a career in this exciting field.

​

I naturally leaned more towards Software Engineering over other subjects but found the entire course material to be interesting and engaging.
