Amazon Web Services
I am in the cloud. I've designed and architected services on AWS that handle millions of requests per day on very tight budgets, have undertaken the Architecting on AWS training course from Amazon and am studying for my Solutions Architect certification.
Principal Web Developer & Tech Lead - BBC iPlayer Radio
2012 - 2017
Leading the team both in terms of software development and line management, my main achievement was the design and implementation of the next-gen PHP platform for iPlayer Radio; from the RPM build tools to package the app through to leading the development of client libraries and application paradigms. The resulting composition based architecture scaled to over a million requests a day on minimal hardware (~ 5 instances total)
