Software Engineering Team Lead

Northgate Consulting

I joined Northgate as a graduate in 2011 and have led its CRM engineering team since 2019, through four major programme deliveries for retail and telecoms clients.

  • Lead a team of sixteen developers split between Manchester and Lisbon, and own the delivery plan for a Siebel and Salesforce estate serving 2,400 users
  • Act as the contact between the technical team, the functional consultants and the client test team on every release
  • Plan and estimate the monthly release train, and cut the release cycle from six weeks to three in 2022
  • Introduced automated build, deployment and regression for the Siebel packages, which removed a two-day manual step from every release
  • Delivered new features in both Agile and waterfall engagements, and wrote the team standard for Salesforce Apex reviews

About the Carbon template

Carbon paints the whole page near-black and sets everything on it in a monospace face. A light grey band runs across the head of the page with the name in large bold type at its left, the contact details wrapping beneath it behind small icons, and a round portrait against its right end. Under the band the page splits into two columns of white type: the profile, the work history and the education on the wider left, the skills, the languages, the sections the writer adds and the hobbies on the right. Every heading is the pink accent in bold sentence case with no rule, a section the writer adds included. A role opens on its dates behind a calendar icon and its city behind a pin, then the title and the employer in bold, then a paragraph and bullets; a degree reads the same way. Each skill and each language is a name beside a thin bar filled to its level, the fill ending in a dot like a slider set to the mark, and the hobbies are white icons over their names, three across. It suits a developer, an engineer or anyone whose resume can look like a terminal.

How it is built

  • The whole page painted near-black with white monospace type, and a light grey band across its head, the band a slot the reader can change
  • The name in large bold type at the left of the band, the contact details wrapping beneath it behind small icons, and a round portrait against the band's right end
  • Every heading in the pink accent in bold sentence case with no rule, a section the writer adds included
  • A role and a degree each opening on their dates behind a calendar icon and their city behind a pin, over the title and the employer in bold
  • Each skill and each language as a name beside a thin bar filled to its level, the fill ending in a dot
  • The hobbies as white icons over their names, three across
