+	Working in the domain for over 10 years software engineering is a profession and a passion. My drive throughout has been to understand the business and organisational context of the problem, as the most important component of any technical solution.
 %	I have been working with software for over 10 years with problems and technologies.

+I have developed a love and appreciation for correct solutions that respect their user and customers and am excited to see how AI can enhance this mission in otherwise intractable domains.
 % Typing trailer:
-	Throughout my work I have developed a love and appreciation for strongly typed languages and maximising the compile-time assurance that can be achieved. This has consistently paid dividends in greater development velocity, and the elimination of issues before shipping.
