Working on a capacity maximisation project. Requiring the development of a customer portal hosted in an azure web application. The web application was implemented using MVC, Web API, SignalR, and the Kendo UI framework. In addition we constructed a B2B WCF application to receive automated instructions from client systems. We wrapped various port control feeds in WCF interfaces and implemented a resilient messaging system using aspects of Service Bus, forwarding live information to the customer portal in Azure. We also had to interface with Esri for mapping services and OSIsoft PI for port diagnostics.

Originally employed for my C++ and office automating experience. BriTech allowed me to broaden my knowledge extensively. Allowing me to learn more about client server systems, at a time when Microsoft was launching the NT server operating system in direct competition to Novel NetWare and SCO UNIX.I gained extensive exposure to the following technologies; Novell NetWare, TCP/IP, Windows NT 3.51, Visual Basic 4.0, SQL Server 6.5, Visual C++, and client server architecture. Networking including the design and setup of Domains and trusts.

From the age of fifteen I’ve had a passion for creating software. I first started programming games in BASIC on an 8bit, 8k Atari 400. My early career progressed with the adoption and the evolution of the PC and the advent of spreadsheets, word processors and databases. At the age of twenty seven I was writing and customising applications for bespoke office systems using Borland’s Turbo C and Ashton-Tate’s Dbase. C evolved in to C++ and Dbase III became one of the most popular databases of its time along with Clipper. It was my skills in the much sort after C++ that allowed me to join BriTech IT services.
