👋 Hi, I’m Shaun Faulkner
I am a Senior Full Stack Developer at Aiimi Ltd, working on the Aiimi Insight Engine. With over six years of commercial experience, I bring expertise in building robust, accessible, and scalable web applications using a diverse range of technologies, among others including:
- .NET / C#
- Angular, NGRX etc
- Typescript / JavaScript
- Azure
- Docker
- Elastic Search
- Python
- SCSS / CSS / HTML
- Web Accessibility Standards
I am motivated by problem-solving and continuously improving my craft. By day, I focus on creating powerful, user-friendly web application, while my evenings are often dedicated to exploring ad-hoc coding projects and, most recently, delving into game development. My journey into tech began with self-education on a Raspberry Pi, gaining full-stack experience before pursuing a Higher National Diploma in Computer Science (Software) through the Open University.
As someone who is Autistic and has ADHD, I leverage my natural hyperfocus and attention to detail to tackle complex challenges and deliver high-quality accessible solutions.
Volunteering has been a meaningful part of my life. I've contributed to diverse causes, including:
- Mountain Safety: Supporting participants in endurance events and ensuring their safety in challenging conditions.
- The Mars Society: Assisting with daily reports from the Mars Desert Research Station, fostering research into human exploration of Mars.
Previously, I spent a decade pushing my physical limits through endurance events, culminating in running 840 miles of the Wales Coastal Path for charity. Today, I enjoy hiking with my wife and dog, balancing this with managing periods of agoraphobia.
Driven by a love of learning, I continue to expand my knowledge across software development, emerging technologies, and creative coding.
