Assistant Development Team Manager Nov 2016 – Mar 2020

At MLP I help run a team on 5 developers. We work on mostly gift incentive sites. I work on designing and developing the core system. I also as a full stack developer, build both the front-end and back-end. As part of this I also design the databases that these run on.

I work primarily with Laravel using MySQL as the database. We use the Bootstrap framework for the back-end and most front-ends. Some of the sites we build need to be fully branded to a client site so I am good at replicating other sites.
