// Keiron Lowe
Hi 👋, I'm Keiron, a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Leeds, UK. With 15 years in the industry, I've worked on a wide range of projects, from small business websites, to systems used by giants such as Amazon and BT.
I have a strong focus on continual improvement. Not content with maintaining the status quo, I'm constantly looking at where systems can be optimized to enhance stability, performance, and developer experience.

eDriving/Solera
Senior Full Stack Engineer / Nov 2020 - Present
I joined eDriving (later acquired by Solera) in November 2020 as a Full Stack Engineer, and within a year I was promoted to Senior. While at eDriving, I've been pivotal in helping the company migrate to modern development practices. Introducing coding standards, unit/feature testing, CI pipelines and more. I worked with various teams to help improve processes and the overall stability of the platform, resulting in a large reduction of support tickets.
Working heavily with Laravel and Angular, I worked on making the various systems as fast and scalable as possible, which included knowing when to break features out into their own services, and analysing MySQL queries to ensure queries run as fast as possible.
I thrive in collaborative environments where knowledge exchange and team building are at the core. Whether contributing to innovative solutions or leading projects, I take pride in guiding teams through complex challenges. Problem-solving is a fundamental part of my work, and I enjoy the challenge of navigating obstacles to find the most effective and efficient solutions.
