Main responsibilities included design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve software inside an agile development framework. Manage individual project priorities, deadlines and deliverables. Mentor and grow a team of 5 software engineers

Worked closely with customers to understand opportunities where technology can be used to drive business efficiently and effectively

Early adopters of a single-page app in AngularJS leveraging WebRTC to implement VoIP in browser.

Involved in implementing distributed VoIP backend with Freeswitch and Twilio

Feature & technical design for resilient REST-based microservices in NodeJS

Technical design of horizontally scalable and highly available data store using Riak DB

Part of the design team building a roadmap for rewriting the medical imaging application using ASP.net MVC 4.0

Developed competitor analysis platform to analyze and report current prices and routes being offered by other players in the low-cost flights market. The system was built using phantom.js to write web scrapers that ran at specified intervals to scrape competitor websites to discover and report back with prices for programmed routes.

Developed a low latency, highly available web feed to be consumed by a travel metasearch engine. This helped with exposing our client’s products to more customers.

Integrated the travel website with a payment gateway to enable safe and secure online payments.

Lead development of a UK based travel website in ASP.net and Sitefinity CMS but without using standard heavy asp.net controls. Instead, a pseudo SPA was built using plain HTML and JavaScript relegating ASP.net to only render the initial page and serve as the REST API afterwards. This was before the popularity of ASP.net MVC

Designed a multi-threaded module to fetch and generate a deals table using data from multiple web sources. This was combined with weather information and other details to form a comparative grid showcasing the best time in a year to visit a given destination.

Wrote a technology demonstrator by modifying the hardware abstraction layer of the Symbian Location-Based Services subsystem to work on a production phone (Sony Ericson M600i) with a Bluetooth GPS device instead of an integrated GPS chip.
