In my role as a Web Team Lead at Resulta, I played a pivotal role in leading the Drupal 8 rebuild of their flagship website, oddsshark.com. Concurrently, I managed the development team responsible for maintaining and enhancing the Drupal 7 version during the rebuild phase. With the successful completion of the rebuild, I transitioned into a managerial position overseeing a team of developers dedicated to the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the site. In this capacity, I foster a culture of continuous improvement by facilitating problem-solving sessions, conducting code reviews, and promoting effective teamwork and communication among team members.
Additionally, I serve as the primary liaison between the development team and various stakeholder groups, including commercial, product, SEO, devops, and business intelligence teams. In this product-facing role, I collaborate closely with stakeholders to gather requirements, document changes and enhancements, and design A/B tests to optimize user experience and site performance. Moreover, I manage the creation, costing, and prioritization of JIRA tickets, oversee development and QA workflows, and coordinate sprints in alignment with Agile methodologies.
I spent nearly twelve years at REDspace, where I served as a developer for the majority of my tenure, transitioning into a Drupal developer role for ten years, and ultimately assuming the position of Drupal Team Lead for the last eight years. Throughout this period, I worked across various versions of Drupal, including Drupal 5, 6, 7, and 8, while spearheading the development of enterprise-level applications for esteemed clients such as Nova Scotia Power, Harper Collins, St. Mary's University, EPIX HD, UltraViolet, and Turner Broadcasting.
During my tenure as a Web Team Lead at REDspace, I led a team of Drupal developers and served as the primary point of contact for client engagements with Turner and Sony. In this capacity, I managed project costing, responded to RFPs, provided mentorship to team members, conducted code reviews, offered HR support, facilitated hiring initiatives and interviews, and ensured the timely and within-budget delivery of high-quality work.
