Hamilton-Brown.

I joined Vodafone UK out of school through their Digital Degree Apprenticeship and spent over three years there, rotating across three teams: software development (building internal Java tooling deployed on AWS and on-prem), digital analytics (Adobe Analytics, Tealium, dashboards feeding back into UX work), and service design (mapping 400+ customer journeys across the fixed and mobile product lines).

That breadth — engineering, data, and the part where you have to actually talk to other humans about what the software does — shaped how I work. I think a lot about whether the code I write makes sense to whoever reads it next, and whether the system around the code (tests, CI, documentation) is doing its job.

Currently based in Tallinn, completing a joint MSc in Software Engineering at the University of Tartu and TalTech. Mostly working in Java and TypeScript, though my current coursework is dragging me down the stack toward C, Rust, and systems-level work.
