Technical Lead at BView Ltd
October 1, 2009 - September 16, 2025I led the technical team that developed and maintained the high volume business directory website BView. I was strongly involved with the development process including a high proportion of design and implementation. The site used Spring and Hibernate at its core, with Oracle as a data store and ran on a combination of Tomcat and Apache. As our methodology was loosely based on Agile, we had short iteration times and kept a high degree of flexibility. Additionally I maintained the live servers and deployed new code releases.
