👋 I'm Billy (thebillington)

I'm a Full Stack Engineer with a background in education and a focus on building high value, reliable and maintainable software. Currently working at Blue Light Card.

I am particularly interested in team owned developer experience (DevX), platform engineering and developer productivity.

Open Source & Personal Projects

I enjoy building tools and personal projects and experimenting with new technologies. I am a strong advocate for learning computing from first principles, with particular interests in assembly programming, digital logic and compiler design. I build a lot of software for personal use that I almost always release for free on Github.

Background

Before moving into software engineering, I worked in education. My experience continues to shape how I approach software development and has given me strong communication, mentoring, coaching and stakeholder management skills.

I also continue to moderate OCR H446 A-Level Computer Science coursework annually.
