Curriculum Vitae

I lead the Search & Discovery projects. By migrating away from Sphinx, our flagship faceted-search browser enables users to discover and compare information about their suppliers, clients and competitors. I’ve spoken at various events about how we leveraged the scaling power of Elasticsearch via a lightweight PHP API to achieve this. The search cluster scales as required, and currently contains around 100 million documents.

When I joined DueDil, it was a pre-revenue startup with a handful of employees. 2.5 years on, we have over 50 staff, serve millions of requests per day and have closed 2 rounds of venture capital totalling over $20 million of investment.

During my time at Idio, I mainly authored RESTful web services with a strong focus on realtime data aggregation and geo faceting. These APIs powered Europe’s largest iAd campaign — serving millions of requests to iOS devices worldwide.

Idio helps brands build closer relationships with their customers and prospects by learning from the content they interact with — and acting on that insight. Idio since closed a funding round with Notion Capital of over $2 million to continue their impressive growth.

Prior to my work within the London tech startup scene, I worked as a PHP Developer for web agencies in the beautiful county of Devon. For full details of these positions, please see my LinkedIn profile.
