About Me
I have over 12 years of experience as a Software Solution Architect, Full Stack Engineer, and Ecommerce Specialist, and I’ve created a varied skill set that allows me to mentor and manage teams in delivering high-value solutions. With an emphasis on ERPs, CMS, and e-commerce, I have worked with cross-functional teams to manage connections with external partners, manage e-commerce website management and optimisation, and develop efficient e-commerce strategies.
Over my professional life, I have led the development of numerous software projects from inception to deployment using Agile approaches. I’ve used a variety of programming languages and technologies to design and implement complex software solutions, supervised junior engineers, and taken part in the hiring and recruitment of software engineers and other technical professionals.
To stay current with industry trends and spot new opportunities, my experience also includes conducting market research and competitive analysis. It also includes ensuring compliance with pertinent e-commerce laws and regulations, such as those pertaining to consumer protection, data security, and privacy. Also, I have taken part in architectural debates and offered technical solutions to difficulties in business that are connected to software development and e-commerce.
I constantly look for methods to streamline operations and boost effectiveness, and I have a solid track record of locating and resolving technical problems all the way through the software development lifecycle. I have also taken part in the preparation and execution of software releases and deployments, ensuring seamless and effective rollouts with the least amount of user disruption possible.
