Background

I’m originally from the UK but moved to Sweden in that small period of 2020 just before the UK did something stupid and the world ground to a halt.

My move to Sweden was primarily for work, but a huge motivating force for me was my interest in exploring new places, ways of working, and to just generally expand my knowledge, skills, and awareness of how different things can be around the world.

Work

I currently work as a Software Developer at MSAB, primarily working in C# writing WPF applications, which are used to help law enforcement around the world to solve crimes and keep the world a safer place. Some of the notable features I’ve worked on have been to:

  • Improve Project VIC functionality
    • This involved me to work with external organisations like Project VIC / Hubstream in the US, and West Yorkshire Police / the CAID team in the UK to follow their schemas and guidelines/ requirements, and to work with them for certification.
  • Retrofit user customizable keyboard shortcuts
    • This is a project where I’ve retrofitted the entire software to have user customizable keyboard shortcuts that only requires 3-5 lines of code to be used, making it very flexible from an implementation point of view.
  • Creating an accompanying Stream Deck plugin.
    • This plugin allows integration with our software to take advantage of the newly implemented keyboard shortcuts.

Prior to this, I worked at my local police force, Sussex Police in the UK where I was a Digital Forensic analyst, using the tools I now help to create.

On this site, you’ll be able to see some projects that I’ve made at various jobs, and in my own time, as well as providing access to various social links, and access to my CV / résumé.
