This journey began with a compact team of four developers and three QAs, focused on developing a critical system that linked pharmacies and nursing homes, simplifying medication administration for residents. My perspective shifted significantly after a trip to our Sydney headquarters, leading to my promotion as manager. Until today, the team has expanded dramatically to include 14 developers, 16 QAs (covering both manual and automation testing), and 2 Business Analysts. Embracing a Kanban framework and an Agile approach, we maintain a predictable release schedule, deploying major updates monthly and hotfixes as needed to address production concerns swiftly.
I led a local team of four developers on a critical platform utilized by banks, financial firms, and notably, the US Department of Defense. We collaborate globally with teams across the US, UK, and India to build and maintain these products. Specializing in the frontend applications—the face of the product—my team is responsible for investigating, addressing, and delivering solutions for production issues, striving to keep them at a minimum. We also contribute to automation test development and ensure high unit test coverage to maintain code quality.
A unique experience of joining a project centered on a decade-old ecosystem that manages every business aspect from growers in orchards to packing workers and market distribution. I initially boarded as the sole engineer to learn the client's complex business and applications. This afforded me the opportunity to form a team to support the system's ongoing development. Working with outdated technologies presented challenges in translating evolving business needs into new features and continuously improving existing products. To foster a deeper understanding and provide direct support, we also make annual trips to New Zealand during their open season to assist business users on-site.
