At Kotahi I was part of the Optimization Team tasked primarily with helping Fonterra optimize their logistics planning for export orders. The team developed an integrated logistics planning system designed to help coordinate supplier, transport, packing and port operations. The system planned and coordinated the transportation, container-packing and delivery to port of Fonterra products destined for export. The goal of the system was to minimise cost. The system took into account a wide array of constraints based on pack plant capacity, land transport capacity, road and rail transport costs, equipment constraints, product constraints, route constraints, temperature control requirements, port charges, goods availability and delivery windows. The system was designed using:● C#● ASP.NET Core● Entity Framework Core● Azure App Services● Web Jobs● Azure Functions● Azure SQL DB and SQL Server ● Azure Key Vault● Azure API Management● Azure Storage● Data Bricks

At Countdown I was part of the Mobile Team responsible for designing and developing the myCountdown mobile application. My role involved developing the backend services and API’s to support the functionality required by the iOS and Android applications. This primarily involved integration with various internal Countdown applications, systems and databases, and integration into 3rd party API’s. The backend API’s where designed using a backend for frontend (BFF) pattern, and built using ASP.NET Core 2.1, 2.2.Various functionality was developed for the mobile applications, including personalised specials and targeted offers, support for digital Onecards, product aisle locations in store, product barcode scanning, and shopping list organisation based on store layout. Additionally, significant work was performed to allow single sign-on (SSO) across the mobile applications and Countdown websites, such as online shopping.

At Vulcan I worked as a senior developer providing technical advice and design around migrating a monolithic on-premise application to the Azure Cloud. This involved providing architectural guidance and implementation expertise around best-practises for scalability, availability, resiliency, and performance. Various architectural patterns were introduced such as retry pattern, circuit breaker, competing-consumers, queue-based asynchronous communication - and a few others - to enable the development team to build available and reliable cloud software. Providing technical expertise and knowledge around using various Azure Cloud services was also a significant component of this role, including:● Azure Active Directory● Azure Search Service● App Services● Traffic Manager● Key Vault● Stream Analytics● Event Hubs● Azure CDN● Storage (blob, queues and tables)● Azure API Management● Azure Functions● Azure SignalR● Service Fabric● Cosmos DBInitially a major part of my role included assisting the development team in migrating from an ad-hoc agile development process the more recognised Scrum, and subsequently Kanban methods. This included upskilling the team on Scrum events and artefacts, as well as acting as Scrum Master. As part of this agile migration a significant number of practises were introduced to improve software quality and increase agility. These included feature-branch development, pull requests, code reviews, static code analysis, Roslyn Analyzers, guidance on writing testable software (TDD, SOLID), measuring code coverage, and so on.

At Plexure (formerly VMob) I was a member of the Architecture Team and was involved in the architecture, design and development of the backend platform for a mobile marketing and loyalty application. The application was built using:● .NET, C#● Web API 2● Azure SQL Database● Web and Worker Cloud Service Roles● Azure Storage (tables, blobs, queues, files)● Service Bus Notification Hubs● Redis Cache● Azure CDN● Service Bus Event Hubs● Stream Analytics● Power BIThe VMob platform was deployed into several countries around the world and had tens of millions of active users. A large deployment in Japan can serve a sustained rate of 400,000 web requests per minute using 264 cores, supporting 15m users. The Architecture Team was a hands-on role responsible for providing technical leadership across various software development teams, implementing new engineering practises, software design and design review, training, mentoring, and coding significant portions of the application.My role also included writing complex portions of the application that needed to operate reliably and at significant scale.https://www.plexure.com/
