Worked at OpenBet Technologies Ltd as a software developer, working to produce new and innovative products for the gaming industry. My role involves working in a small team of 6 to develop new products for OpenBet using cutting edge technologies.Responsibilities include analysis, code reviewing, development and implementation strategies. As a new products team, we make extensive use of JavaScript, building highly scalable, AJAX rich web applications, communicating with a TCL backed server using JSON based web services. The nature of the applications demand up to date knowledge of ever evolving we technologies as well as the ability to work with large scale JavaScript implementations.Over the past 12 months I have been heavily involved with both front end and back end development of OpenBet's latest product, the Trading Interface, and have helped it go live with several of its customers.More recently, my role has been to analyse and implement front end performance enhancements for the new Trading Interface product. This involved detailed analysis of the code base and required many areas to be completely reconstructed using new strategies, eventually improving performance in some areas by well over 100%.

Helped develop and improve internal training services.
