+    \ResumeSection{Elevator Pitch}
+
+    I caught the Software Engineering bug during my GCSEs (2012) when I taught myself Java 7, and later used it to model the propagation of computer viruses through a network in collage (2015).
+
+    Concurrently with my Distinction Master of Mathematics masters, I taught myself C++ 11 and Python 3, which I used as part of my BSc dissertation exploring NTRU - a post-quantum encryption scheme.
+
+    Between my BSc and Integrated Masters years, I found a year-long internship with Raymarine writing embedded C++17 for their Yachtsense Digital Control System.

+    \ResumeSection{Interview Questions}
+
+    \section{Technical}
+
+    I understand that quality code is only a fraction of what makes a quality software product.
+
+    \begin{enumerate}
+
+        \item Tell me about your design philosophies.
+        \\
+        \begin{itemize*}
+            \item Design patterns.
+        \end{itemize*}
+
+        \item Tell me about your development infrastructure and processes.
+        \\
+        \begin{itemize*}
+            \item C++ version.

+        \\
+        \begin{itemize*}
+            \item Containerisation.
+            \item Databases.
+            \item Event queues (AMQP).
+            \item Performance metrics in prod.
+        \end{itemize*}
+
+    \end{enumerate}
+
+    \section{Behavioural}
+
+    \begin{enumerate}
+
+        \item If I where to raise a major issue with the product (scalability for example) that is not part of the requirements but would render the product unfit for purpose, what would happen?
+
+        \item How does the company culture encourage proactive (as opposed to reactive) problem-finding and solutions?
+
+        \item What does success look like in the role within the next 2 and 5 years?
+
+        \item If you where to hire me today, now, what task would you have me working on?
+
+        \item Have I said (or not said) anything during this interview that would give you doubt in my ability to produce results in the role?
+
+    \end{enumerate}
+
+    \section{Human Resources}
+
+    \begin{enumerate}
+
+        \item How does the company actively encourage continuous development and learning?
+        
+        \item How has the company changed since you joined?
+        \\ \textit{(Ask to the technical lead, \textbf{if employed for 2-5 years})}
+
+        \item When was the last time the company core values influenced a decision about the project?
+
+        \item Lookup their company information on companies house and ask about the product/service viability evidenced by their revenue statements.
+
+    \end{enumerate}
