Malta

With the growth of the company and the increasing number of developers I became the head of development. I am overseeing the development efforts of a dev team of 12 people including frontend, backend and devops engineers. I am responsible for software architecture and design of our products, for the specification, distribution and quality control of development tasks and I am the main point of contact for any development requests internally and for external partners.

As the company grew my main focus shifted towards the backend aspect and transitioned into a leading position overseeing all backend and infrastructure development while still being involved in the actual implementation. My work involved implementation of new, major game features (backend and the game logic part of the frontend), system engineering, coordination of infrastructure development efforts, training of new employees. The most prominent technologies on the programming side were Java, PHP, VueJS and webpack. During my time as a lead backend dev we moved our servers into the Google Cloud, split off some parts of the tech stack into microservices and introduced new infrastructural elements like Kubernetes, Docker, and Kafka.

I started at Dorado Games at the very start of the development of our flagship game Conflict of Nations as a full stack developer in a small team of just 3 developers. I was modifying an an existing game engine to turn it into a new game with new features. I was doing both backend and frontend development using Java, PHP, HTML + Canvas driven by SCSS and Javascript.

I have been working on a contract by contract basis for various customers, managing my own projects from specification to maintenance: specification, architectural and system design, implementation using various platforms and technologies, hosting, application and server maintenance.Most of these projects were enterprise solution delivered in form of web projects. They were usually database-backed intranet solutions tackling problems specific to the customer's organisation. Some of these projects lasted for many years and evolved into a complex net of cross-linked applications.

I was overseeing the specification and development of the National Education Portal (NKP). Participated in the specification phase of the project by providing input from a technical point of view. Acted as a technical proxy between the procurer and the contractor during the development, clarified the requirements and helped in the resolution of the inconsistencies of the system.Created supporting web applications which allowed the creation of the content before the final product was completed.

Reykjavik, Iceland

I was working on a social portal related to the space-themed MMO game called EVE Online. I was introduced to agile development and worked as member of a SCRUM team which was part of a larger developer team. The technical aspect of the project was very challenging because of its tight coupling with the live ecosystem of the MMO. My tasks at CCP were: • Web development using Microsoft technologies (IIS, MSSQL, WCF, MVC) • Integration of the web app with a large cluster running a EVE Online, a single sharded MMO.What I learned there: • Working as part of a large team• Good examples of project management• Agile development methodology (SCRUM)• Latest Microsoft technologies (WCF, Microsoft MVC)• Working with high load server clusters and databases• CI/CD, automated testing• VoIP integration into web applications
