Stuart Grassie: software engineer, developer, aspiring software craftsman

About

I am a software engineer by title, developer by training. I currently work in Preston, England. I was originally interested in Computer Forensics, and accidently fell into programming, which I have developed a passion for.

I strive to keep up-to-date with the latest technology, and love using the latest tools and techniques, but, I am not afraid to wrap my head around legacy code. I am passionate about Unit Testing, Test Driven Design, and Design Patterns.

I like to spend as much of my spare time with my fianceƩ as I can. I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy, watching football (especially Liverpool FC), or, working on my own personal coding projects. I also play for a team in a local pool league and play 5-a-side football.

Experience

I have been a software engineer for three years, and in that time I have worked with:

  • C, C++
  • Object Pascal/Delphi
  • C# and the .NET Framework
  • Java
  • SQL and Oracle PL/SQL

I also have a fairly strong background in web development, including:

  • HTML, CSS and Javascript
  • PHP (I've eaten a little Cake)
  • (some) Django
  • Dreamweaver and Photoshop

I am an excellent team member, with excellent and confident communication skills.
