Solutions Architect

Experienced with business analysis, taking clients through the process of refining their requirements and creating a flexible but robust roadmap.

Every solution needs to start with a problem, and often this is overlooked or misunderstood, which can lead to "solutions in search of problems".

Identifying problems is the key to creating effective and scalable solutions. Requirements and specifications follow naturally, and with a flexible framework, teams pull together with a clear, shared goal.

Product Management

Defining a product or solution is only the first step, refining the definition and scoping the flexibility requirements allows the project to iterate, grow and adapt as more information becomes available.

There will always be knowns and unknowns, and planning for these is critical. As the saying goes: "no plan survives contact with the enemy" so changes and challenges should be expected and incorporated into the development framework.

These can actually be planned for, without needing to know what they are in advance.

Development

At the end of the day, planning needs to be backed up by doing, and development is the most exciting and satisfying part of the journey.

With 20+ years of solid PHP experience, building platforms and solutions brings the dreams of the company to fruition. From the initial proof-of-concept, through the trials and tests of QA, the feedback and the failures of product market fits, finally breaking ground on features is where the planning and preparation pay off.

Whether they're on-site, remote or off-shore, developers love clearly defined, achievable targets, and a Tech Lead who can inspire, mentor and support, but ultimately allow each developer the freedom to stretch their legs and get into a solid sprint, safe in the knowledge they've got the right goal in their sights.

And lastly: good devs eat bugs for breakfast.
