As a Software Developer, I dove headfirst into PHP-based projects, fueling the development and maintenance of the company's SaaS platform. Leading the charge for the Cape Town team, I took on the exciting challenges of implementing new features, tweaking existing ones, and ironing out pesky bugs in the codebase.My role wasn't just about coding but understanding the clients inside and out. I made it a point to connect directly with them, ensuring solutions were tailor-made to meet their needs while building strong rapport.Working across different time zones was a dynamic aspect of the team setup. We held regular meet-ups to sync up on progress, brainstorm ideas, ensure we were hitting our targets effectively, and provide support where needed.From brainstorming sessions with clients to the nitty-gritty of database design, I was involved in every step of the project lifecycle. This meant not just coding, but also crafting the architecture, executing deployments, and showcasing my work in demos that impressed clients.In addition to my main role, I took on side projects like scripting in bash and batch for internal tasks and diving into MySQL and MicrosoftSQL projects. Plus, I played a pivotal role in keeping client servers up to date and running smoothly, handling everything from SSL certificates to database maintenance.
