WORK HISTORY
Co-founder @Mygamerprofile
I’m a co-founder of MyGamerProfile.net, a community website where Xbox LIVE users can create their own customisable profiles that show games they have played, in-game achievements they have been awarded and allows them to share achievements with friends on personal status feeds.In my spare time, I act as a Systems Administrator and Product Owner to the project, as well as other roles. I set-up and maintain our Linux based servers and server side applications such as HTTP servers (NGiNX) and Database (MariaDB/MySQL). I’m also responsible for ensuring the servers are secure, up to date and have minimal downtime.The website is increasing in popularity as we currently have a user base, over unique hits a month, and over 300 million gamercard image requests at around 5 per second. All of this means I can deal with scaling a popular and active application, and doing legacy server updates without users experience being affected.Some of my other work on the site includes writing news posts, thinking up or designing new features and gamercard images, also keeping in contact with the community through the forums.

ABOUT CALLUM PARKINSON
When I turn my PC off at night, a logout script calls a web-hook which turns on my bedroom lights, turns on my heated bedsheet for 20 mins and opens Youtube on my Apple TV.That probably tells you enough about me.
