Overview
I am currently working as a Chief Operating Officer of a software development company specialising in the online gambling space working in multiple platforms including web (Angular, React, Vue), backend (Node.js), Android (Android Java & Kotlin) and iOS (Swift). I am currently involved in the latest project as a combined role working as Product Owner, the team consists of 4 iOS devs, 2 Android, 3 Frontend, 4 backend, 3 QA and 1 Devops. I originally started my career as a technical project manager / product owner / business analyst depending on the project requirement - including planning and writing documentation (software specifications / processes) for projects from the conception stage and managing through to delivery, however when my own company was acquired I was promoted to COO managing the operation of 35 full time staff and reporting into investors and the parent company to implement the company vision and strategy. I work with all aspects of the business from accounts, legal, compliance, creative, development and other administrative functions. I am looking to transition out of the corporate structure and to work for myself again, therefore I am applying for jobs via Upwork to establish my own client base to give me the flexibility and freedom to work on projects I love, and to assist smaller businesses who are either startups or in their growth stage. I am looking for roles including operational consultancy, business strategy, financial modelling, business plans, product owner role and project management. I am English, I have over 12 years experience in the IT space ranging from insurance to gambling products and am looking for my next challenge. I am available during business hours, and always available on my mobile (even on weekends during critical times) and am happy to travel to fulfil any role I am associated with. Working with me you will have a well organised, structured approach and expectations delivered on time, with a focus on reducing waste and streamlining the operation.
