Worked as a full stack developer specialising in Node.js, React and Amazon Web Services. As an Automation Specialist I was responsible for ensuring that the processes throughout the software development life cycle are automated wherever possible - focusing heavily on CI/Automation Testing.I've spent the majority of my time at MediaWorks working on a number projects that deliver the video on-demand platform, ThreeNow. This includes the API, ThreeNow website, the CMS, the video-players various other livestream projects and integrations.
