Work
experience AlphaSights Ltd
Technical Director, New York, USA Jan 2013 to Sep 2016
Lead Engineer, London, UK Jan 2011 to Dec 2012
Software Engineer, Cambridge, UK Sep 2008 to Dec 2010

AlphaSights is a knowledge broker with a mission to connect businesses with the

world’s best on-demand knowledge. This is done by combining human intelligence
with an innovative technology platform.

At AlphaSights I led the engineering function, built a recruiting and professional

development pipeline and grew the function to more than 30 full time employees. I
helped take AlphaSights from 4 to 400 employees and from $0 to $60M in annual
revenue.

In 2013 I moved to New York to expand the engineering function globally, whilst
continuing to oversee the existing London team.

The core stack components were Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL and in more recent years
also EmberJS and ReactJS. For search we used both Solr and Elasticsearch. As the
number of applications grew we standardised on GraphQL for both client/server and
server/server communication and RabbitMQ for async messaging.
