Backed by Mercia Technology PLC. - Transformed Engineering and Operations into a confident, value-delivering asset that the business was proud of and that supported a 98 point NPS improvement over 3 years (-48 to +50). - Introduced DevOps best practices e.g. decoupling deployment from release, software-defined infrastructure, centralised configuration, feature-flags and zero-downtime deployments – leading to greater agility and faster feedback cycles with our customers. - Increased deployment frequency from fewer than 10 in 2015 to over 200 in 2017, supporting 11 meaningful product releases – adding tangible value for existing and future customers. - Successful migration of a legacy SaaS platform to a new physical hosting partner – resulting in improved service levels, increased capacity and a new dedicated environment for APAC. - Championed use of AWS and partner services such as Elastic Cloud to accelerate new product delivery in a hybrid-cloud microservices architecture. - Built up team capability and cohesion through coaching, mentoring and good hiring practices. Improved team retention – from 9 unplanned leavers in 2015 to 2 in total across 2016 and 2017. - Responsible for all technical due diligence which supported a successful trade sale to Advanced (Vista Equity Partners) in March 2018 for 28x EBIT.
