The application included a bespoke sign-off management whereby different Scopes could be manage under different sign-off sequences. The application was later updated to included forms completely rewritten using Telerik controls. (C# Winforms, Telerik controls, SQL Server)• Developed the Key Quantity Tracking new application to calculate defect projections and budget forecast information. Allows the user to review the data at each stage of the calculations and provided interactive calculations of later stages when data was updated. The application's main form has 4 synchronised interactive grids. (C# Winforms, SQL Server)• Provided a major update to the Defect Assessment application by rewriting the main Engineer Analysis form (used for Defect review and Nominated Repair assignment) using Telerik controls and adding new audited sign-off process. The process required interaction between 2 forms via method calls and events. The process allowed the reviewer to accept and reject changes before sending the defect back for further review.
