All of this was done whilst implementing new features in the listening247 platform for a decades-proven global leader in the market research space. Entered the team as a software developer and have quickly been promoted, all the way to a Enterprise Software Architect – but am still dual-classing between architect/developer roles, and am always leading the development team by example. https://www.digital-mr.com/ Show less
