DIBS is a payment service gateway. When I started there as a junior developer, straight out of university, DIBS was a small company of 7 people. When I left 3 years later, I was lead for a team of 6 developers, the company had grown to about 25 people, and DIBS had just joined forces with a Swedish payment service.
As a developer, I did
- Backend integrations with payment services
- Development and design of new features in the main product
- Maintenance and iterations on the existing code base
- Technical lead on consulting projects for e.g. Øresundsbron
- Frontend development
- Database design, queries and maintenance
- Assistance for support
- Inhouse data reports
As a team lead, I had responsibility for
- Estimating, prioritising and scheduling tasks
- Preparing PCI Security certification processes for code and client facing interfaces
Platforms and technologies
- Linux (both as development framework and on servers)
- C++
- PML (homemade PHP-like frontend templating language)
- Javascript
- XML + SOAP
- Sybase SQL
- MySQL
- CVS
