Hello, my name is Calum
I'm a Full Stack Developer
About Me
I'm Calum, a Full Stack Developer with experience in e-commerce and healthtech. My most recent role with Netenders is primarily working on a customisation tool built in React and utilising a backend built in Ruby on Rails. I'm passionate about building slick, user-friendly applications and I'm always eager to learn new technologies and apply them in different industries and environments.
In the past I gained experience as a project manager working in industries such as rail and nuclear before making the move to my main interest of software and web development in 2019. I've carried over these skills of working collaboratively and driving deliverables and apply them daily in my work.
