I've scaled a team from 2 to 8 full-time developers, with half on-site and half remote. I've completely revamped the development process - moving to git, implementing a full DevOps pipeline with CI/CD, automated unit/integration testing, containerization, peer code reviews, and much more.

I've significantly improved the project management approach for my team, working directly with the CTO of a medium-sized (~2500 employees) enterprise. Before I started, the PM was very ad-hoc, and it was very difficult for the executive team to plan and estimate major projects. Under my direction, we've been able to execute at least one key project each year.

Some highlights include:

- The first-ever e-commerce website for the company and a companion React Native app for employees to pick, stage and deliver products even when offline (serving 89 retail locations).

- A payment gateway that's had 99.99% uptime and billions of dollars processed, in production for 6+ years.

- A custom EMV credit card processing backend that runs on 500 edge devices.

- Architecture, project plan, POC, and implementation of a new suite of applications to replace a legacy COBOL system that runs all core business functions.

I love building and working with a team of highly-skilled developers, who want to learn and grow their craft every day. My team has good tenure, with several developers past the 5 year mark with me. I have great pride in the way I've been managing, growing and mentoring a team of engineers. I am looking for a company that will be a good fit for me long-term, where I can grow even more as a technical leader.

I am currently targeting technical management- and director-level roles. Please reach out if my experience sounds like a good fit for your org. Can't wait to hear from you!

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm an experienced Senior Software Engineer, Systems Architect and Microsoft Certified Professional with a passion for software development.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET / .NET Core frameworks, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions, encompassing over 20 years of experience in the field.

An accomplished team leader, mentor and architect, I'm skilled at taking a leading role in the overall architecture of a project, in driving team developments and employing proven industry disciplines and best-practices to deliver successful software projects that frequently exceed client expectations.

I'm passionate about distributed systems design, CQRS and event sourcing and a proponent of domain-driven design to ensure that solutions are laser-focused on solving real business problems. I'm an open source enthusiast and advocate using the best and most appropriate tools available, providing for an effective and pragmatic solution that delivers genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

+ Successfully delivered large section of an ambitious project to re-engineer a number of monolithic applications to cloud-native, event-driven distributed services for a leading hospitality software provider as part of a company-wide effort to modernise entire software estate including training and mentoring staff on event-driven architecture and distributed system design.

+ Successfully designed & delivered large, global SaaS product to manage and automate music royalty collection and payment for one of the UK's largest and most demanding independent music publishers including full cloud geo-distribution & redundancy to ensure high availability & reliability for the worldwide client base.

+ Successfully lead project to deliver a market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.
