Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Sparrow-Steels is an IT software developer with 12 years' experience combining hands-on .NET development and growing expertise in C# and ASP.NET with a strong background in PHP, Python, Lua and multiple SQL databases. He transitioned from frontline IT support in a legal services environment—resolving Citrix, Windows and bespoke hardware issues—to delivering software solutions, giving him a pragmatic, user-focused approach to engineering. Comfortable across Windows Server and desktop ecosystems, he brings operational discipline from ITIL-driven support processes into development and incident-aware coding. Currently at Ampa after seven years building internal tools at Shakespeare Martineau, he blends legacy system knowledge with modern .NET practices. Colleagues rely on him for bridging support and development gaps, reducing repeat incidents by turning recurring support patterns into durable software fixes. Based in Gedling, England, he pairs steady technical curiosity with an ability to make complex environments more reliable for end users.
