👋 Hello! I'm Jake Mulley. I'm a hands-on technical leader, software engineer, and technical architect, all rolled into one.
👋 Hello! I'm Jake Mulley. I'm a hands-on technical lead, software engineer, and technical architect.

I have 11 years experience working within the public and private sectors, as well as with agencies, startups and charities.
I have over 11 years experience working within the public and private sectors, as well as with agencies, startups and charities.

I'm currently a **Principal Technical Architect** at the UK government's [Ministry of Justice](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice).

Day to day, I regularly work on:

- Modernising legacy products, services, and infrastructure
- Defining and building technical architecture, specialising in serverless
- Building accessible services with progressive enhancement
- Designing data-driven and domain-driven services
- Collaborating across stakeholders to get buy-in and define technical strategies
- modernising legacy products, services, and infrastructure
- defining and building technical architecture, specialising in cloud-native technology and serverless
- building accessible, progessively-enhanced services
- designing data-driven and domain-driven services
- collaborating across stakeholders at all levels to gain buy-in and define technical strategies

To do this, I tend to utilise whatever is best for the job at hand, though I often use:
