Summary

I must admit, I hate debugging other people's code however, I have a huge appreciation for it, why because it makes the world go round :)

What makes me really tick as a developer is the thrill of building new techs, it could be a new application feature, product or platform. I love getting both my hands and mind dirty especially at the planning & discovery stages and then top it up with the implementation stage... I love it!

FriendMTS provides security products to protect live media content that are streamed online and on other platforms.

I was contracted to work on their internal system(Expose) that allows their clients like BT Sport, Sky, FIFA to track, monitor and prevent content piracy of their live programmes.

My main responsibility was to help the team migrate the system from Zend to Laravel. So I built new versions of the modules in laravel.

In addition I spent about 40% of my time each week working on React/NodeJS platform which was going to be the provide a host of features to support Expose and other related services. Working as part of a team I helped to build:

  • Axios Singleton API Client
  • DataFetcher service to power MUI Datagrid
  • Content Ingest Auth0 Service
