Primary focus was on Alfa's technical vision, preparing the product architecture for growth and improving engineering effectiveness through improved practices and infrastructure. Projects included product modularisation, re-architecture for performance, promotion of effective TDD and review, migrations to Git and Maven and adoption of more responsive CI/CD pipelines, while remaining hands-on in Java/JS development and coaching. I was also instrumental in Alfa's engineer recruitment strategy.
