This has been a challenging one, constantly pushing me out of my comfort zone and testing my limits.I have taken on this role while still working as a Project Manager and being fully committed to my projects and delivering them on time or reassigning them, where possible.This role has given me a much better insight on management, on business development, client communication and engagement, team performance reviews and team internal management, allocations and budgeting. It has constantly pushed me to learn, especially in domains that I haven't been as involved in, until now - sales, finance, marketing, public relations, operations.Some of the responsibilities associated to this role include:Liaising with existing team members, supervisors, and clients in order to achieve set goals.Observing, analyzing, and offering suggestions on current operations.Scheduling meetings and training sessions with team members and other stakeholders.Assisting with recruitment, training, and onboarding processes.Establishing professional relationships with clients, team members, and other stakeholders.Maintaining relationships with clients and finding creative ways to expand the organization.Attending workshops, lectures, and training sessions wherever possible.Monthly reporting on various department activities, projects and budgets

I started out in this position as a mid-level PHP Lead Developer and currently ended up shifting gears between Sr. PHP Dev / Team leader and even Project Manager responsibilities. I can say it has been a full experience in the course of which I grew a lot on a professional level, and I continue to perfect my skills in all these areas.On a technical level, the technologies I worked with in this position, so far, are PHP / MySQL, Yii, Codeigniter / Fuel CMS, SVN, Jquery, basic Linux operations / SSH, AWS (SQS, SES, SNS, S3, EC2, Lambda etc).At a leading / managerial level, I coordinated several teams I worked with so far in delivering successful platforms for our clients (Canadian and US-based clients only). As a team lead, the methodology used was Agile, working in Sprints and handling the tasks/reporting/sprint charts in JIRA, combined with a very well documented and structured project in Sharepoint. I grew my way into taking on even more responsibilities, directly communicating with the clients, providing estimates and setting the deadlines or managing their expectations.

The current job of Magento developer involves working within a multitude of Magento projects (mainly on Community Edition), the demands growing from simple adjustments on existing installations, extension customization, new functionalities or extensions.This allows me to develop my integration capabilities within a series of projects, doing this with ease, while offering correct estimations for each demand in particular and, of course, to keep learning new things in Magento.

The job of intermediate PHP developer made me , first of all, learn a new framework, Laravel 4, through which I have developed different custom platforms for different purposes. I had also developed my OOP knowledge, along with MySQL database and working with Git, having, at the same time, the possibility to grow professionally.
