Project history
Project Lead on all elements of delivery for global e-Commerce (SAP) projects from planning to development, leading on Angular & React storefront development for clients including Leaseweb, Shell, Heineken, Boels, Watches of Switzerland, HiSense, Dr. Martens, Reico and more.
Tasked to help the team meet deadlines for a major client (Watches of Switzerland group with their flagship Goldsiths store and Rolex as a primary client). Worked on their Angular ecommerce system, achieving solid SSR and Lighthouse scores vital for leading SEO rankings and site speed, with record levels achieved for minified build size.
Hired by Shell AgileHub to lead development on their B2B marketplace store (Shell MarketHub 2.0). The role involved a large customisation on top of SAP (Hybris) CX Commerce B2B Spartacus, with many new services and end points on top of the base OCC layer for customer dashboards with customisable Order History routes. Built on the latest Angular version with a focus on BDD automated testing in Jasmine and A11Y accessibility.
