I pride myself on getting to know products and services deeply, and using that knowledge to help steer development teams towards architecture that benefits not only the business - through scalable and forward thinking solutions - but the developers themselves in their own personal and professional growth.I don't build solutions: I build teams, and together we deliver on your business goals.My approach is human, and focuses on empathy for both the end user and the developers building the product/s. If a team is well-aligned, and a product/project well-defined, then satisfaction for the consumer will follow, and subsequently success for the business. It's a win-win-win.I've been working on MaaS (Mobility as a Service) solutions for the last 4~ years. During my time, I have learned a lot about the difficulties of integrating with so many disparate transportation options (even when only looking here in the UK!)Prior to that, I spent 6 years working in fintech, which presented an entirely different set of hurdles facing what was (and continues to be) a heavily-regulated industry sector.I'm happy working both independently and as part of a team, and love engaging with others about the bigger picture: - Passionate about bringing the best results for the business and its customers/users - Experienced in engaging with project managers and product owners at all phases of a project's delivery - Not afraid to speak up if something doesn't sit right in a project's scope - the success of the project is the success of the team delivering it! - Happy to mentor others in best practices of web development and lead by example Here's some of the skills I bring to the table: - PHP5, 7 & 8, as-is or utilising popular frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony- Extensive work over years utilising varied front-end frameworks and templating languages such as Vue.js, React, Twig, Blade, and Razor- A solid understanding of microservice architecture and deployment processes using CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, BitBucket and CircleCI - Comfortable with cloud-based platforms like AWS and its many features, such as S3, EC2, DynamoDB, Cloudwatch, and IAMs Professional skills:PHP8 | .NET (C#) | React | Vue | JavaScript | TypeScript | SASS | LESS | Laravel | Symfony | Razor | Blade | Twig | MySQL | DynamoDB | Graph databases (Neo4J) Core competencies:Leadership | Mentorship | Back-end development | Front-end development
