Any device that carries audio (including mobiles, radios, TVs, or ATMs) can chirp. I recruited and headed up the engineering team leading the evolution of the software platform across multiple devices and environments. I have developed and managed a large scale Python backend and Restful APIs as well helped defining and improving a broad range of products spanning from social media integrations, third parties SDKs and service integrations. From September 2014 to April 2015 (8 months) London, United KingdomSoftware Engineer/Scrum Master @ Ground up implementation of an airline specific content management system, which allows customers to dynamically manage booking capabilities and travel offers, and as well display dynamic content through rulesets. My role involved the design and implementation of reusable server side components, later adopted as part of the Amadeus technology stack. I took initiative on developing deployment tools to overcome a multi-step cumbersome deployment process, substantially saving development/support time. Being the first Agile project in the software development division, I acted as scrum master and mentored the team on agile development practices achieving the highest quality metrics within the division. I later joined a team involved in the support and development of tools and frameworks which constitute Amadeus MVC infrastructure shared across several products and airline websites featuring 40M+ bookings per month. I was also responsible for the development and maintenance of a full featured Eclipse development plugin for Aria Template (Amadeus open-source client-side template language), used internally by hundreds of developers.

Responsibilities involved development and maintenance of a transaction intensive price matching system (40 millions transactions per day), the site search infrastructure and large scale affiliate partner interface. Highlights included ground up implementation of a scalable multi node enterprise search platform based on FAST ESP. Other responsibilities were the maintenance of site operations administrative interfaces and tools for web scraping and product matching. The Scrum development team had a strong focus on quality and best practices, including among other things TDD, pair programming, peer reviews and collective code ownership.
