Patrick Bryce Steen

I lead the development of a high-performance monorepo architecture using Solid.js on the frontend and Java-based services on the backend. Our focus is on integrating machine learning testbeds into scalable, accessible web applications. I built the CI/CD pipeline from the ground up using GitHub Actions, and we deploy via AWS for secure, fault-tolerant infrastructure.

My work involves modernising API integration across services to reduce technical debt and improve performance. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and oversee frontend architecture decisions, mentoring junior developers and conducting code reviews to maintain high standards.

I also manage frontend SEO strategy, leveraging GA4 for performance insights, and ensure our UI/UX implementations meet accessibility (WCAG) and responsive design best practices. My role combines strategic planning with hands-on engineering to deliver robust, maintainable, and forward-compatible solutions.

As a consultant, I collaborated with various high-profile clients, guiding them through the development process and defining the scope and limitations of their requirements.

In two significant projects, I played dual roles as the Scrum Master and Lead Developer. I ensured the application of Agile methodologies and the achievement of all project milestones. In another projects, I took on the role of Technical Lead, steering both the strategic direction and technical aspects of the project.

From a technical aspect, I was proficient in a broad array of tools and platforms, including React, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and C++. Beyond these, I delve into the realms of AI and machine learning, always keen to leverage cutting-edge technologies to foster innovation and informed decision-making for our clients. These skills were vital for product development and project bids.

I was a Front End Developer at Etain Software, serving as a Project Contractor for Allen & Overy. I coordinated with the Legal Tech team and designed, developed, and implemented exclusive web applications for clients from all around the world.

In addition, I acted as a consultant and lead developer on various projects, implementing both new frameworks and legacy tech stacks, such as MVC, React, PUG, and others.

In this role, I was also responsible for training placement students, recent graduates, and colleagues transitioning from other teams to either join our team or contribute to other projects.

I was GoReport's primary technical development engineer co-ordinating with Operations and Development teams. I was responsible for the creation of exclusive web applications to our clients' survey needs. These web applications would be created within HTML, PHP (Laravel) and LESS utilizing JavaScript based technologies, to be merged with Prince XML software to generate PDF reports.

These applications would be dynamic and adaptable to various data formats collated from our IOS application. I have also spearheaded the project timelines for various large-scale company-wide projects such phase 2 of our smart product line.

The role then extended to a supervisory role of training new engineers and management of placement students from Belfast Metropolitan College.

For my academic placement I worked as a junior consultant within Convergys Limited IT department. During to my time here I was in charge of various tasks such as:

• System Network Infrastructure Maintenance
• Network & Security Protocol Servicing
• Customer Complacence Support
• Assissting in new personel training

As assistant manager I was responsible for various tasks such as handling finances, customer care, dog training and obedience schools. The dogs I trained were used as drug and explosive detection hounds for various global police forces.
