Was the main point of contact within DriveTech for the AA's auditors and provided IT related audit evidence. Managed a small team of testers teaching/guiding them on: * SQL skills required to create and validate test scenarios (plus covered basic programming practices). * Organizing test cases and tracking progress within Team Foundation Server (TFS). * Creating a testing framework (page object model) on which automated tests should be based. * Creating automated tests using Selenium (for web apps), NUnit and C#. * Initial steps with using Winium to test windows apps.In addition to my own team of testers, I also worked with an off-shore team based in India.Evaluated, recommended and helped configure DriveTech's ticketing system. Also worked with facilities to allow them to manage company assets within the same system.Created a company intranet site in SharePoint after becoming frustrated at the lack of any framework for sharing key information within DriveTech. Used SharePoint to create reminders to IT when SSL certificates were due to expire, plus allowed facilities to track when venue related certificates/checks were due and to issue relevant email alerts. Did the initial work to allow the compliance team to help them move DriveTech's ISO documentation into SharePoint. Show less

The AA & BSM driving schools were using TargetProcess to capture requirements and track development progress, whilst DriveTech used Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS). Aligned both teams to use TFS. I was a key representative at IT meetings with a key fleet client, for whom we developed a dedicated website to help them manage their delivery drivers, a task which I continued in my subsequent role as IT Quality Manager.Ensured that the development of DriveTech's police applications would pass the AA's yearly audit of selected applications required for them to maintain their FSA accreditation. I was the key contact for Ernst & Young who were undertaking the audits. Show less

Along with Steve Harris, I co-developed and maintained a Microsoft .NET windows/web application, supported by web services accessing a SQL database for tracking referrals and their bookings for the Thames Valley police speed awareness scheme. This was expanded to cover over 10 forces and numerous schemes that allows drivers to receive training as an alternative to points on their driving licence or a fine. This application is still being used today.

This was expanded to cover over 10 forces and numerous schemes that allows drivers to receive training as an alternative to points on their driving licence or a fine. This application is still being used today. Voluntarily developed a .NET windows application to undertake driving licence checks for our fleet customers, as I was tired of our staff running this functionality off of a spreadsheet. Show less
