Operations management software.

Full stack engineer. Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, Node.

I built Trail since its earliest days covering paradigms from monolithic architecture, micro-services, the implementation of CQRS and event-sourcing, and the transition from Angular to React and Redux.

We also handled the growth of the company from only a handful of stores using the app to thousands, scaling the technology to respond to this.

I dealt with the integration of a variety of APIs and platforms, including SSO solutions, social media (incl. Facebook, Twitter, TripAdvisor), hospitality systems (incl. Forth, HospitalityGem, LiveStore, Access Maintain), emailing solutions, and custom integration with Zapier.

I also assisted in integrating a variety of third party tools and APIs into the site, such as Twilio and Segment.

There was a strong focus on test-driven and data-driven development, with continuous integration with Jenkins, comprehensive functional and unit testing in PHPUnit and Jasmine, and A/B testing using a custom Symfony2 bundle.
