Looking after the needs of large software development teams involving technical estimating, high level design, project planning, resource management, monitoring and reporting and risk and issue management . I motivated and coordinated multiple teams of people delivering software change to the HMRC estate. Many years as a Developer within similar projects gave me a deep understanding of the work required and an empathy with the members of my teams.
