Whilst at Totaljobs Group I achieved the following:

  • Worked in several roles in the organisation: Principal developer, Managing developer and Senior developer.
  • In conjunction with the Packt work, my specialism was .NET Core and ASP.NET Core with Docker, and automation of the build process.
  • Part of an agile team responsible for a Docker/.NET Core based AWS ECS API serving up to 80,000 requests per minute, including SNS/SQS event based system for managing various job-based events.
  • Responsibility for devops work, owning the releases and monitoring, and pushing towards CD.
  • The company is mostly AWS, managing AWS resources via Terraform, with additional Bash and Powershell for orchestration.
  • I was one of the main contributors to the www.github.com/totaljobsgroup organisation, open sourcing parts of our code base to encourage open collaboration, most notably the Syringe project.
  • Strong advocate for clean code and good, simple technical documentation in the Github Enterprise projects - I converted all the existing documentation to Markdown and then onto Github Enterprise and push for living (but minimal) documentation on all projects.
  • I worked on most of the Totaljobs tech stack over the years noteably: an email service that sends millions of emails daily, content service for site wide HTML/CSS/JS and a Salesforce based order fulfillment service.
