Work - Open to Opportunities

I’ve just wrapped up a long contract with HMRC, where I worked on the SPIMM project (Simplified Process for Internal Market Movements). This project aimed to streamline the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It was complex but rewarding, and I really enjoyed being part of the team.

We successfully delivered the project at the end of September, and now I'm open to new opportunities.

While my main focus is on Ruby, I’m also diving deeper into Python. In fact, this blog is built using Python Flask.

If you're in search of an experienced Ruby/Python developer, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to chat and explore how we can collaborate on your next project.

Life

After 12 years in Wimbledon, London, my family and I have recently moved to Woodley, a village near Reading. We’ve just bought our first home! Which has been exciting and stressful.

I loved my time in Wimbledon. I made some good friends, especially through Wimbletech, a coworking space where I spent many days working and enjoying lunch with fellow remote workers who eventually became friends.

Now I am working from a small studio at home. However, I plan to work in coworking spaces a few days per week. There’s something about face-to-face conversations that Slack and Zoom can’t replace.

One of the things I enjoy about my new life here is cycling with my daughter to and from school.

Projects - Work and Fun in Puglia

A while ago, my Wimbletech friend Valentino Legio and I launched a project called "Work and Fun in Puglia".

It was about working remotely while enjoying living in a small town in southern Italy (Presicce).

We brought together a group of six professionals (mostly freelancers) who were eager to work remotely and explore the local culture.

The project was a big success!

We loved staying together, the experience, and the food. I’m already thinking about what the next "Work and Fun" project will be. I'll write soon about it.

Free Time

At the moment, I don’t have much free time. Between settling into the new house, assembling furniture, fixing things, and applying for new contracts, life is pretty busy!
