Experience
LNER – Senior Technical Lead
Anthony played an integral part in taking over the LNER website from a previous supplier and smoothing out the transition to make this a successful project. This involved setting up the processes for the new team and making sure we could iterate upon the legacy system without regressions. Anthony led the project through its first PCI compliance audit as well as identifying and implementing security improvements and streamlining business processes.
RSA Insurance – Technical Lead
Anthony has led development on RSA’s Motability Insurance site. This site revitalised Motability’s online presence by allowing customers to view and manage their policies through an account portal. Behind the scenes, Anthony has tackled many technical challenges, bringing together many legacy systems and integrating with a SAML identity provider to create a seamless experience for the user.
Air Charter Services – Technical Lead
Anthony led multiple projects for Air Charter Services, architecting, building, and supporting complex systems for their global user base. This provided full-stack challenges, from integrating with and aggregating data from many external systems, all the way through to delivering a highly polished customer portal mobile app. Anthony tackled all these challenges, all the while supporting a team of developers and nurturing their career development.
