Working for a start-up company has given me a vast range of experience. I am responsible for managing projects that have required me to develop both desktop and web applications using a range of different languages and tools. My typical responsibilities are to design, develop and maintain software systems throughout their life cycle which includes everything from liaising with the customers, designing system architecture, writing and testing software all the way through to deployment.Working for such a small company where development has been so rapid has enabled me take on a vast amount of responsibility.
