Synectics plc

Senior Software Developer · Sheffield

Synectics builds advanced security and surveillance systems; its Synergy platform runs control rooms for cities, transport networks, casinos and offshore energy.

  • Helped Synectics achieve CAPSS certification: contributed to the platform's architectural overhaul, brought our development practices into compliance, set up SonarQube and Mend.io, and hooked both into the build and release processes.
  • Standardised every CI/CD pipeline onto reusable common templates.
  • Led the customer data migration from single-tenant to multi-tenant cloud architecture.
  • Championed AI-assisted development tooling across engineering, mentored developers, and worked with product owners on scope, priorities and estimates.

First studio, co-founded while finishing my Master's. Pocket Universe, relaunched as Pocket Galaxy, shipped to both stores and was profiled until it ran well on low-end phones. Space Station Tycoon is in development.
