Successfully deployed to 16 countries, the website allows members to find a club, download guest passes, join online and manage their account. It involved integration with numerous third party systems either directly or via the creation and consumption of web API and web services.

Worked as an agile team leader and practicing developer, my responsibility was to ensure my team operated without impediments, had transparent communication with the key stakeholders, always was working on the current set of priority tasks, and ultimately delivered the functionality required. My team’s responsibility was for the Alterian Content Manager Smart Client, a Winforms .NET client written in C# .NET, the UI-rich front end for the Alterian Content Manager enterprise CMS. I gained significant experience in handling multi-user, multi-threaded scenarios and working with a messaging based architecture to a cross platform Java enterprise server. Development tasks included writing and maintaining unit tests, WPF UI code, Winforms UI code, business logic and .NET to Java interop. Projects of note include a complete MVC3 implementation of the CMS delivery engine, using custom controller factories, route handlers and the Razor view engine.
