Hello, I'm Blair. I'm a software developer with 10 years of experience. I enjoy building sites, apps and anything that peaks my interest. My focus is Data Integration.
About me
I graduated from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh with a 2:1 in Computer Science, and have spent the past 10+ years working as a software engineer. My favourite part of the job is untangling complex problems — whether that's designing a data pipeline or architecting a new web application. I love the moment a tricky solution finally clicks into place.
I currently work as Lead Software Engineer at Millersoft Ltd, where I lead development across a range of projects — from full-stack web apps to data integration, ETL pipelines, data vaults, lakes, and warehouses. My go-to stack includes React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js, alongside specialist data tooling like Apache Hop, Apache Spark, and Apache Druid.
When I'm not at a keyboard, you'll find me exploring the Scottish outdoors, keeping up with the latest in tech, and tinkering with self-hosted services at home.
