I am an experienced software engineer, architect and technology team leader, with a passion for problem solving, quality and innovation. Over the last two decades, I have gained vast experience in several engineering and managerial roles in marketing, eCommerce and logistics industries. In addition, I've had significant experience with marketing strategy, product management, project management and corporate finance in an entrepreneurial startup environment.Coupled with my abilities to think strategically, understand others perspectives and communicate technical concepts to techies and non techies alike, this means I'm well suited to leading technology teams and taking responsibility for the technology strategy, and delivery within an organisation.I've had substantial hands on experience with leading the development of complex applications, large systems, APIs, large content managed web sites, eCommerce sites, mobile and responsive sites and digital campaigns, and overseen development of native mobile apps and flash based projects. I've also had significant experience of leading teams of front end, back end, native app and flash developers.I demonstrate empathy for all users and stakeholders of a project, and combine that with my extensive technical knowledge to design solutions, architectures and interfaces that achieve objectives and maximise return on investment. I can visualise the whole project before it's defined and can consider and define all states and variables to ensure the development runs smoothly.I have significant sysadmin and dev ops experience on both LAMP, LEMP and Microsoft based platforms, and single server, multi-server and cloud based architectures. I have architected and implemented high performance, highly scalable, redundant and highly secure, and included disaster recovery contingencies.
