During this time I worked for Armakuni on the "on the night" donation system for Comic Relief's RedNoseDay and Sport Relief. This was high-volume, a high-performance, high availability system which ran on CloudFoundary.It was a microservices architecture built primarily in Ruby. I worked on may aspects of the system but my key roles was integrating new payment gateways - including Braintree, WorldPay and Apple Pay.

While my primary role here was been software development, I have also taken on many other roles over the years. Including:- Systems architect- Server, security and network maintenance and administration- Project leader- Trainer- Being involved in business decisionsIn terms of development, I have worked on projects on my own and in small teams -working both under others and leading.Over time we introduced Agile Methodologies of software development including Test Driven Development and treated software architecture and development as an art and skill that should be developed to the highest level. Much of this I pushed and pioneered at the company myself.Over the years I have worked on a huge variety of both customer and in house projects. Some of these include online subscription management systems, CMS system, a PHP module in C, hardware programming in PIC assembly, booking systems and commerce systems.We have also worked with many common frameworks, technologies and platforms.
