I was brought on board as a UI expert in WPF to upgrade a pre-existing product from winForms. The applications were built using SQL 2008 R2, VS2010/TFS, developed in both VB and C# .NET 4.0 & 4.5.• I completely redesigned the UI from the ground up. The architecture allowed for changing 7 colors and instantly the UI would transform to another skin dynamically.• The above was accomplished by taking all the base controls (combobox, itemsControl, radioButton, etc) and heavily modifying each style to the desired effect.• I overhauled our entire contacts administration from the database schema all the way to the UI by changing it from a flat model to a multi-tiered folder structure.• I created a fixed width grid to display Ali information and a custom utility to easily map properties to any location within the grid.• I helped build a prism framework as a base for the application from the ground up using unity.• I created a custom dialog service that could be called generically from any view model built on top of the prism framework.• I was the team lead in charge of branching and merging.
