Background

About Algernon Sampson

I'm an accomplished Full Stack Developer and Analyst, specializing in Python, JavaScript, and PostgreSQL, with a proven track record in automating testing platforms and optimizing product development lifecycles. My background in mathematics from the University of Nottingham serves as a strong foundation for my analytical and problem-solving abilities. In my role as a Full Stack Developer at Certua, I've built and managed the development of a state-of-the-art automated testing platform, integrating technologies like Playwright, Selenium, and Postman. My focus on scalable, robust, and high-performing solutions has significantly reduced testing cycles and accelerated time-to-market. I'm also proficient in employing DevOps best practices, using Docker, some AWS Cloud Services, and TeamCity to enhance operational efficiency. As an Analyst in Certua's SME Product Builder team, I’ve carried out analysis of pivotal operational improvements, presented to senior management, and implemented security upgrades. My deep dive into the product builder lifecycle enabled me to shrink the time needed to build a demo-ready product from 2-3 sprints to a mere 2-3 days. My academic background in applied mathematics and scientific computation, primarily in MATLAB, equips me with exceptional numerical skills. I have honed my data manipulation and analysis skills further with a MOS certification in Excel. My experience extends to writing technical reports and a strong background in manual labor, where detail-oriented work and strict timekeeping are essential. I have a repertoire of personal projects linked below, that demonstrate a strong grasp of the Python programming language in several key areas such as web scraping, multithreading, data analysis and game theory. https://github.com/frostyfeet909/Portfolio
