I was originally brought in to help a project that was falling behind.  After my short term contract ended I was offered a full time position to take on the role of Lead Developer, which as we grew, resulted in me running the development team.  In this role I managed a team of developers and also built the more complex aspects of the Drupal projects.  One of the larger platforms I built while working at Userly was Credit Benchmark.  The Credit Benchmark platform was designed to gather, aggregate and anonymise credit risk estimates from market participants to create a new source of credit risk data.  This was a greenfield project for which I was responsible for all aspects of the project from initial client liaison, through design and build, to a successful implementation.  Major parts of the system included a custom, very fast node import system, multiple chart displays and an advanced data verification system.
