Projects that I had helped develop include: - A KFI application web portal - A RESTful API which allows third parties to import their mortgage accounts into Phoebus. - An in-house testing framework that can be used by JUnit to test the Phoebus Swing desktop application.- A program which calculates redemptions and associated fees.I played an important role in introducing the automated testing tool, Cucumber, into the company. This involved teaching team members (including non-developers) on how to use it. I have also written a couple of Eclipse plugins which hopefully made developer's lives easier.Technologies I utilised on a regular basis include: - Java ( up to 8)- Spring- Maven - Git - SQL - Jenkins - Javascript.- Groovy - Sumologic- CucumberI have been able to develop non-technical skills such as:- Communicating and working with non-developers such as testers, BAs and clients in order to deliver a suitable solution.- Showcasing and presenting work to colleagues and clients.- Mentoring Grad DevelopersI also follow awesome agile practices such as TDD, regular refactoring and pair programming to ensure the solution I produce is robust and maintainable.
