Highly valuable position in terms of experience and career progression.

Improved long-standing internal systems to be more maintainable and reusable.

Jumping-off point for thorough understanding of Perl and Catalyst. Learned JavaScript as a serendipitous result of desk position. Extremely stressful role.
