Brand Management System — MetaDesign (via Unicsoft)
EnterpriseSenior / Lead Full‑Stack Developer · Dec 2016 — Jun 2026
Nearly a decade as the core developer and team lead on a modular multi‑tenant Brand Management System used daily by global brands. The platform's architecture — a shared core with per‑client override layers, distributed via Git submodules — let us ship 23+ installations while keeping a single codebase. I owned architecture decisions, ran code reviews, mentored the team, and built the full CI/CD pipeline from scratch.
- • Architected and maintained BMS platforms for 23+ enterprise clients
- • Built modular CMS with Page Builder, DAM, Media Database, Newsletter engine with CSS inlining, Workflow approval system
- • Implemented SAML SSO, OAuth 2.0 API, RBAC, multi‑tenant and multi‑site architecture with i18n
- • Led development team: code reviews, task distribution, mentoring junior/mid developers, enforcing code quality (PHPCodeSniffer, ESLint)
- • Set up full GitLab CI/CD pipeline: lint → test → build → deploy across dev/staging/pentest/production
- • PDF generation (TCPDF, PrinceXML), media processing (ImageMagick, FFmpeg), SVG icon font pipeline
Challenge: Implementing OAuth 2.0 and SAML SSO for enterprise clients with strict security requirements — full responsibility for integration with corporate identity providers.
