I'm an analyst level developer with extensive PHP coding experience. I have designed and coded distributed and scaleable applications built on the cloud. I am currently engaged as the technical lead for a mid sized marketing firm in the United Kingdom. My previous roles include work as a team lead, line manager, and senior developer. My current role is to provide technical leadership and line management to the development team. I'm accountable for the timely delivery of software by the team as well as maintaining relationships with internal and external stakeholders. I take on architecture and design roles, lead the sprint planning, facilitate the morning standup meetings, and enforce our development processes. I am a Zend certified PHP engineer (ZEND028594) and an Amazon certified Solutions Architect (AWS-ASA-12492).
No words to describe, truly amazing stuff, Thank you very much
