I work on the backend applications that drive the CanvasPop ecommerce platform along with its sister services like Popupstore and previously DNA11. I'm responsible for developing the image rendering library, improving the design and manufacturing workflow of our ecommerce platform, adding new features to the reporting capabilities of that platform while responding to issues reported by customer support. We do test-driven development within a Docker environment, with continuous integration for staging and production. I use Laminas to develop my applications.I love working here; there is much to learn, and we emphasize good clean code by refactoring often, writing tests, using programming patterns and pair programming.We also have a very tight relationship with the designers and customer service personnel to ensure our work and theirs is always at its best and with the least interruptions possible.

I build back-end web applications with a primary focus on web applications that are PHP and Laravel-driven.

I develop using the Laravel PHP framework, making extensive use of its modern PHP 5.5+ features and creating API-driven web applications.Key technologies used:- Secure implementations using JSON Web Tokens for API stateless user authentication - Fractal-generated JSON responses - PHP streams and sockets and SSL/TLS implementation. I developed a parser that would take an XML-based database export of a Point-of-Sale and store the contents of it inside a MySQL database for use in an API-driven web app. This required extensive understanding of the business rules of the POS. I developed several fallback mechanisms and extensive logging that allow me and the front end app to understand when and where issues arise and get consistent reproducible results when running the parser.Ongoing work with the client and their POS implementation partner has allowed me to provide an ideal scenario where uncertainties can be discussed and overcome over the data model of the POS, and find solutions that allow our online application to interface with the POS.

I help deploy world-class analytics tools like tag management systems such as Tealium iQ on high profile enterprises'​ website properties.As part of that, I coordinate with the client's IT or developer teams to assist them in implementing the necessary changes to transition to these new centralized systems which greatly improve how web analytics are implemented and managed on sites.I also assist in analyzing existing setups and figuring out what is causing existing analytics deployments to not report accurate and consistent data.The role requires a lot of analytical skills, the ability to communicate effectively and clearly with clients including highly technical and non technical personnel such as senior management. Working with the analyst team onsite at Napkyn to help them reach their goals of reporting quality data and interpretation is key to the success of our business as an integral partner to our clients' success. We work as a virtual team member with the client rather than as a contracted business to provide analysts. Understanding of Javascript and front-end setups is key to the role but is largely used as a tool to analyze and understand website properties than to develop them; in some cases some coding is required but it is hands-off remote implementation.
