Background

About Jamie Briggs

I am a Lead Developer at NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA), a public sector organisation that provides essential healthcare services to millions of people in the UK. I have over 4 years of professional experience in developing web applications, both internal and external, using Java Spring Boot, RESTful APIs, and cloud solutions. I hold a master's degree in advanced computer science and a bachelor's degree in computer games programming.As a Lead Developer, my primary focus is on coaching and mentoring the junior developers in my team, and ensuring that they develop their skills and progress in their career. I also manage the workload and business requirements for our projects, and communicate effectively with stakeholders and clients. I apply test-driven development and agile methodologies to deliver high-quality products that meet the needs and expectations of our users. One of the projects that I am proud of is the Dictionary of Medicines and Devices, a public-facing web application that provides accurate and up-to-date information on medicines and devices in the UK. I contributed to the development, testing, and deployment of this application, and helped to improve its performance, security, and usability.
