I worked on iESE local government and public sector consultancy Project when I spent 3 months as Senior Drupal Consultant in Woking for an Award Winning Digital Agency in London LAB Lateral.
My office location was in Woking and I was working on this project with a team of other 4 developers located in South Africa, therefore we had daily stand ups and communication via Slack and Skype.
My position involved leading the creation of new services for content moderation, visualisation, integrating with other custom services and third party API'S, services with a strong hand on component using Drupal, Node js and Javascript. To achieved such goals I used custom blocks, panels, views, and wrote some custom modules to manage some of the private user member areas.
