I am a former mechanical engineer working as a product manager at a tech startup, I was lucky enough to find a great remote job just before COVID, and now I'm managing my companies second product.
About me
Hi I’m Joshua,
I’m from Manchester, UK, but I currently live in the midlands somewhere between Derby and Birmingham.
I hold a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and an Msc in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial management.
I have years of experience in managing the development of physical products from turbochargers made in their millions, to super luxury cars made one of a kind.
I have managed programmes and projects from £1m to £250m and delivered some of the best loved luxury cars today at Aston Martin Lagonda.
I left Aston Martin in 2019 and I’m making the transition to software engineering in 2020.
I was lucky enough to find a great remote job with the basics that I already knew, and now I’m making 2020 the year I learn to build professional web apps.
The tools I am learning are:
- JS / ReactJS.
- Redux.
- Typescript.
- CSS / SASS.
- Node, Express.
- MongoDB.
- I can use CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Bulma, and TailwindCSS.
- I am also able to write python for engineering and web applications.
I’m currently following the curriculum at freecodecamp.org
Outside of my day job I’m open to projects physical product and software related.
