Hello / Bienvenue / Willkommen / Hola
My name is Bruce, I am a Senior Software Engineer.
My interest in software started when I was a kid, I would program at school and mess around with computer game scripting at home. After a detour into Biomedical Science, I then completed a Masters in Computer Science at the University of Dundee.
My first job was working for British Telecom in Glasgow as a software graduate.
Then after a few years I decided to move to London, where I worked at a really cool print company called MOO.
After London I decided to move to Manchester where I worked at Jaguar Land Rover and then Auto Trader.
Since 2019 I have been working fully remotely but I am also happy to collaborate in offices if necessary.
