I have more than 13 years’ experience as a Full Stack Web Developer, Solution Architect, Project Manager and Co-Founder of B2C Tech Startups including (50000+ Members, Estd. 2009) and (400,000+ Members, Estd. 2005). The primary focus for many of these startups is automated user-generated content creation for Social and Business consumption. Since 2005, I have worked on conception, planning, execution, monetization, upgradation, business development and growth of these startups. Currently, I lead multiple teams constituting of 5 developers and a designer working remotely. I have been responsible for multiple projects. Apart from managing Code Repositories, Code Quality and practices for Code Review, I have also worked on migrating and automating parts of these projects over the time. My teams follow SOLID design principles in a Git Flow based Branching Model. We generally use Scrum with week-long Sprints for Project Management. As some of these projects pre dates emergence of Cloud technologies and rise of MVC frameworks in PHP, I had the opportunity of working with older technologies on monolith architecture as well. Another big change during this time was decline of Flash based front end technologies, which were eventually replaced by WebGL and Javascript based Front End frameworks. I lead an effort to moving these live projects to a distributed cloud based architecture gaining valuable experience. We also moved away from Flash to these newer technologies under my leadership. I also helped create an in-house PHP micro MVC framework in 2011-12 as well which was eventually replaced by Laravel as our Framework of choice. I have also worked on Email delivery, creating a Broadcast System, creating and running an affiliate system, integrating payment processors for Instant Payments, activity logging and processing, and creating a support system which has provided me a deep insights in workings of a startup. I have also participated in successful marketing and monetization of these startups with more than $4,000,000 in revenue. I am currently working on a smart support desk called RobotReply, with learning capabilities and an automated email/chat response generation capabilities using AWS Comprehend. ©
