Experience
App.OfferAutomation.com | Development and Technical Management
On this project, I helped deliver a web app (the front end was built in Angular 5 and the back end in ASP.NET). My primary role was to ensure the overall delivery, acting as a technical manager.
I mostly performed code reviews, ensuring the highest quality of the delivered solution. I also facilitated communication between the developers working on the project and the client, took part in the recruitment process of new developers, proposed the high-level architecture of the solutions, provided insight with hosting, deployment, and so on. I also created a continuous deployment pipeline using Jenkins.
