I was the Development / Tech lead on a green-field build of an asset management platform. Most of the work I undertook was architecture design and building components of a data-exchange system to allow data synchronization with partner companies. The system was a proprietary build replacing a lot of legacy SSIS packages with web API’s. I worked closely with the technical BA and QA team to ensure TDD and BDD were at the core of the codebase.
