I am Senior Developer with experience in Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL. I focus on the commercial and product side of development. I like to discover the actual measurable benefits to the customers and to the business when I release code, instead of a release and forget attitude. This feeds in to my preference for experimentation. For me, development should always prioritise the ability to release, iterate, and even revert changes as quickly and safely as possible in order to maximise the benefits of experimentation.
