Alfie J. Palmer

Software Developer

4+ Years Industry Experience

Software Engineer

I am a proactive, innovative individual who enjoys formulating solutions to aid the solving of complex problems. I’m passionate about computing, mathematics, and more recently - quantitative finance.

I have a thirst for engaging with new projects, technologies, and ideas which motivate me to further improve upon my skill-set.

People that I’ve worked with say that I am a team player and I feel a real sense of achievement when I can help other people.

If I can make a positive difference and learn new skills at the same time then I am committed, attentive, and extremely focused.

Testimonials

“Alfie couples outstanding technical aptitude with strong people skills. He is a passionate developer who has consistently demonstrated his capability to produce high quality software.”

Dr. Greg Slabaugh

Chief Scientist in Computer Vision, Huawei Technologies

“Alfie was not only a fast learning, enthusiastic, and punctual individual, but he showed utmost interest and desire in our work. We were thrilled with his drive, ability and will to commit to his work and we will look forward to hearing from him about future projects.”

Thomas Hegarty

Production Manager & Founder, Roll7

“In life, you will seldom meet an individual who will make you appreciate respect and appreciate them for their work ethics, depth and extent of their knowledge. Having Alfie in my Post 16 ICT class made me think of all the answered questions that could be asked because I knew somehow, somewhere he had found the time to read about the topic and/or technology to be discussed. His theoretical knowledge and understanding were beyond far beyond the comprehension of his peers whilst his technical ability be it creative or problem solving was second to none. This is a gentleman who will not disappoint anyone who invests their trust in him. I have no doubt that he will become one of the ground breaking leading professionals in the IT world in the not too future.”

Justice Asafo-Adjei

Pastoral Director, The Ravensbourne School

“I consider myself lucky to have worked in a few teams already at my age; however I have been incredibly lucky to have met and worked together with Alfie. Although Global Game Jam 2016 has been short, it helped me realise that there are still people out there that are incredibly passionate and dedicated to what they do. Not only does he have the technical capabilities of delivering a project but he has the right energy to see it through, work as part of a team and keep everyone motivated. He is punctual, knowledgeable, on point when it came to applying agile to our project and a great problem solver. Anyone that has the opportunity to work with Alfie can immediately notice that he’s focused, proactive, and innovative. In short, Alfie is a person destined for greatness as he has great potential and thrives in everything he does.”
