I established a bank-wide process for attesting NFRs, which is being adopted by other teams, and I help coordinate several groups to help the project meet the non-functional requirements.

SpringloadProject Manager
May. 2012 - Jan. 2013Wellington, New ZealandAfter a long time being a developer, I turned my knowledge to the management side of the force. I love talking to my clients, working out their priorities, planning resources and budgets, nutting out the requirements and discussing the solutions with our internal team. I had to learn how to manage resources, timelines and budgets, set expectations and work with our team to achieve our benchmarks, which wasn't easy. However, I absolutely loved the process. I loved working with creative teams and turning our clients requests into beautiful solutions. Along the way, I became passionate about Agile and how it helps with shifting priorities, uncertainty and communication. A few of my main clients include the Wellington Airport, Forsyth Barr and the NZ Arts Festival, and I'm pretty chuffed with the results achieved so far. I also delivered a couple projects for the Red Cross New Zealand and Creative NZ, which went pretty well too.
SpringloadWeb Developer

* I became a Zend Certified Developer.
* jQuery became a passion. But then I realised native JavaScript is a lot faster. I married them and it resulted in beautiful client-side code.
* I expanded on my CSS knowledge, and got lots of exposure to SaSS.
* I demystified Linux servers, and I got a lot more confident on what I can do with them.
* Problems of scale, backups and caching became a huge deal for me.
* Worked with APIs including Twitter, OpenGraph (Facebook), Youtube, Google Analytics and a few others.
