About William Stapleton

Software Engineer with three years of Microsoft Power Platform development experience and proven expertise in cybersecurity applications, business automation, and client-focused solutions. Currently pursuing an Integrated Master's degree in Computer Science (MEng) at Durham University with first-class honours trajectory, specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering. I combine academic excellence with substantial practical experience across multiple technical domains. As a certified Microsoft Power Platform developer, I have designed and maintained business applications using agile methodologies, working directly with clients to deliver solutions that enhance operational efficiency. My current dual engineering roles demonstrate versatility and technical depth: at Tekgem Ltd, I develop web applications for operational technology environments within cybersecurity frameworks, while at ArdenIT Ltd, I create in-house applications and automation systems alongside providing development services to external clients. My contributions extend beyond traditional development work. As a Student Digital Leader at Durham University, I support staff in managing SharePoint sites and Power Platform applications, implementing automation solutions that significantly enhance productivity across academic departments. This work on the Digital Capabilities Project earned recognition through the 'Above and Beyond' award at the Student Employee of the Year Awards, reflecting my commitment to delivering exceptional results. My technical foundation encompasses software engineering principles, cybersecurity applications, and enterprise automation platforms. I excel in client engagement, requirements analysis, and translating business needs into technical solutions. The combination of my academic focus on artificial intelligence, hands-on development experience, and proven ability to work effectively across diverse technical environments positions me to contribute meaningfully to complex software engineering challenges. I am seeking senior software engineering opportunities where I can apply my technical expertise and client-focused approach to drive innovation and deliver impactful solutions in dynamic technology environments.
