Duties include the development/maintenance of security-critical applications used at the ports by UK Border Force. I work daily with multiple professions (interaction/content designers, SME’s, business analysts and sister-project teams) in an agile manner. Applications comprise of React micro-frontends, TypeScript component libraries and Node/Java backends which leverage Amazon Web Services products including S3, RDS and EC2.

Due to my extensive Node.js and React knowledge, I’ve been asked to step in as a senior developer to help steer a struggling development project back on track so it can meet the deliverables.

Stagecoach (Megabus)

Stagecoach required a new, from the ground up, version of their already successful Megabus website. The new solution would leverage an existing SOAP service layer, to provide a new journey planning and ticket purchasing application, and also provide a CMS for content editors. I was brought in as a full-stack developer to help implement the Angular 4 web application, as well as developing the supporting Web API middle tier. The project was delivered using modern software development techniques (Agile etc..) .
