  I was hired for this contract specifically to implement a set number of very specific changes to two existing, legacy systems.The first system was originally developed using VB6 and SQL Server 2010 with some additional components created using C#.Net. As the original developers were no longer around, my task was to implement some very specific changes to this system, whilst maintaining the existing architecture and development approaches. In other words, my changes were to have a minimum impact on the existing code base and should be implemented seamlessly.This was easier said than done as the code base was huge and presented a significant challenge to become familiar with the inner workings of the code as well as ensuring that my changes referenced every area of the code required.The second system was an online web portal, originally developed using the first version of ASP and SQL Server. Again, this was a very large code base and most of my time was spent familiarising myself with the structure of the website and its code. In the end, the changes I implemented were relatively minor, but it was important that these changes impacted every conceivable area of the code.This has been a very enjoyable and rewarding contract as the requirements were made very clear from the start and I have been able implement the requirements working alone and independently, whilst presenting regular updates on my progress, for which the client has offered their appreciation on multiple occasions.
