My role consists of such things as defining standards and practices, following the Agile methodology, source control management, setting up of CI/CD pipelines, creating & managing an Azure PaaS environment and providing support to the business and colleagues.

We have also adopted domain driven design techniques and it's supporting architectures (OOP, IoC, Domain Modelling, Repository Pattern etc.) in the core code. We are also now making use of various Azure cloud services such as blob/table/queue storage, AAD, Redis cache, Azure Search, SQL Azure and more - all of which I am involved with from a planning/design perspective but also hands on technical perspective.
