Led development on a year-long project to take an existing large microservice-based codebase and provide substantial new functionality to an existing product that was not, prior to the project, ready for the UK market. Being an OSS application, the development involved multiple developers across multiple organisations. Provided value to the team by supplying guidance and mentorship to other developers unfamiliar with the domain, performed structural planning of, and oversaw development of, interacting microservices to guarantee coherence and ensured development adhered to stakeholders requirements throughout. Addition of the functionality enabled the company to sell the product in the UK, resulting in substantial increase in customer base in previously untapped markets.

Led frontend development on a year-long project to create an entirely new system for managing academic reading lists including integration with many third party systems. Development required my close liaison with the backend team to ensure a coherent overall result. Constant back and forth between both teams throughout the entirety of the project ensured smooth development at both ends. After achieving great success within the company customer base, the product was subsequently purchased by the UK’s leading personal learning platform.
Key technologies: JavaScript, TypeScript, AngularJS

Created numerous enhancements to existing internal and external systems. These enhancements were largely improvements to user experience, using existing platform APIs to create new, contemporary user interfaces that met modern user expectations.
