  Working across software for 8 clients, including the BBC, I was able to further expand my skills into new areas. I am responsible for setting and enforcing coding standards across my team, ensuring a level of craftsmanship within the software, and mentoring more junior members with a focus on good practices. For one of our greenfield projects I architected and implemented an entirely serverless microservices platform utilising AWS, a first for the business. The AWS infrastructure was set up using Infrastructure as Code with AWS’s CloudFormation scripts, utilising AWS Lambda functions to run each service with AWS DynamoDB for the data store. The software was developed using a strict TDD approach and made heavy use of queues for asynchronous communication. I was able to take the learnings from this project and apply it to a new client project, but this time in an Azure serverless environment using Terraform to define infrastructure as code. For both of these projects I also put a focus on making it easy for the developers to get started; local setup took only a couple of minutes. Show less

  Coming on still at a junior position this role allowed me to rapidly grow and within 2 years I moved up to a senior developer position leading teams on various projects. I started as part of the team to rebuild the full e-commerce platform, full stack, utilising a service oriented architecture which is heavily built upon SOLID principles. This involved acquiring an understanding of Entity Framework, using a repository pattern, for the backend work, as well as learning AngularJS and LESS for the UI work. There was also a heavy focus on unit testing and integration testing. On top of this I also got my first exposure to continuous integration using TeamCity and Octopus Deploy, where I went on to build an application to rapidly build and remove CI instances for development branches.
