Currently providing fully independent software consulting and development to various clients, I'm able to put all my years of experience to good use, at the moment I'm working on projects covering:ASP.Net MVC, .Net core WebAPI, Nodejs, Postgres, MSSQL, Angular 1 and 4, React.js + Redux, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6/7), CoffeeScript, F# hosted in Azure and AWSI enjoy being a full stack developer and love designing a solution to meet both technical and business goals, feel free to get in touch if your team needs some guidance or advice on new or existing projects!

After consulting with Rockend for the last year or so, they were in a pinch when they lost their Head of Engineering and Development Manager; so I stepped into both the roles to provide continuity and help them find the right person while keeping the team on track. Keeping me busy while continuing existing projects!

- Consulting at William Hill across various projects and disciplines- Acting as both part of the Racing development team while consulting across all teams- Tech: VS2015, C#, Bitbucket, TeamCity, Octopus, ES6 (javascript2015), Akka.Net, Redis, Kafka, ReactJS, NodeJS, GraphQL

- Taking on an entirely non-C# or Microsoft role, I worked with the front-end engineering team to introduce Angular with ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) to produce a UI application pattern which was highly componentised and would go on to be our primary micro-spa application pattern. The pattern was applied to the US version of our primary map tool and was highly successful- Then moving into a more full-stack role, for which I am now tech lead, I was heavily involved in developing a C# on Mono with SQS micro-service architecture to help them expand into the US. Within 9 months we had 28 fully scalable, continuously deployed micro-services, some of which included public OWIN WebAPI APIs to service corresponding Angular micro-spas, the system relies heavily on a CQRS based pattern - Using my graph database experience, I introduced Neo4j as a self-documentation tool, introspecting the separate services using mono-cecil then Roslyn ASTs to building a graph to help answer questions of interdependency- Technology across the full stack included, Angular 1.4, ES6 (ECMAScript 2015), Jade, Grunt, C# 6, OWIN ASP.NET, PostgresSQL, nHibernate, log4net, Mono, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows Server 2012r2, Saltstack, SQS, nUnit, Moq, sinonjs, mocha js, chai, Neo4j graph database, Bootstrap, instanbul, Bamboo, Git, Greylog, docker

- Working with a large team of senior developers split across various projects; I participated in enabling the successful development and rollout of significant upgrades to several of Bauer’s primary client facing systems- Where appropriate I was able to implement enhancements using newer patterns and technology across all tiers of development- Extensive unit testing to ensure regression issues were limited while balancing the need to target large sections of legacy code and technical debt- Prototyping and implementation of key technology patterns and upgrades including EF 6, build management using AWS and TeamCity, Neo4j Graph Databases, nServiceBus, TypeScript and AngularJs- Projects make use of VS 2010-2013, C# .Net 3.5/4.0/4.5, WCF, MVC 4/5, AngularJs, AngularUI, TypeScript, jQuery, jQueryUI, KnockoutJs, CruiseControl, TeamCity, SQL SSDT, nUnit, SQL 2005-2012, AWS RDS/SQS/S3, powershell, psake,, Autofac, EF 6 with code first migrations, nServiceBus, Neo4j graph database, Boostrap, Cypher, Git, nLog, Loggly

- During a a break from Bauer Media, I briefly joined Macromatix to get their new ASP.Net team started in their Sydney office to upgrade their flagship web application- Prototype, implement and present to global audience a framework based on TypeScript, AngularJs and AngularUI; a solution which was fully accepted and embraced by their full-time team - Projects make use of VS 2013, C# .Net 4.0, WCF, MVC 4, AngularJs, AngularUI, TypeScript, jQuery, jQueryUI, jQueryMobile, TFS, nUnit, SQL 2008, Autofac, Boostrap, Git

- An established company with a large legacy system currently being migrated to their primary web offering, following a more robust framework pattern- As a contractor, I was prescribed various parts of existing functionality to migrate. It was imperative to ensure existing functionality and business requirements were retained as well as re-evaluating requirements for improvement and enhancement- Once I became fulltime, I moved on to the company’s primary need which was a new timesheet and award interpretation rules engine. Together with another senior, we proceeded to guide the business through an agile development process involving: - Gathering and documenting business use cases and stories - Estimating and defining scope of use cases - Prototyping elements to gain further business clarification and confidence - Designing and producing a solution to meet these use cases- Responsible for implementing SVN, CruiseControl and a build server to provide a stable development integration environment with continuous and nightly builds with automated unit tests- Projects make use of VS 2010, C# .Net 3.5/4.0, WCF, MVC 4.0, Telerik RAD UI, jQuery, jqGrid, CruiseControl, nUnit, Enterprise Library 5, and SQL 2008, MS Unity

- Having previously worked with Factotum, the opportunity arose to complete work on a per project basis- To date I have completed one such project, being a risk assessment calculator for a third-party. After successful production usage the client has ordered extensive additions as well as white labeling the application- For this project I worked remotely and alone to produce a final product which was based entirely on client specifications and screen shots. Communication, interpretation and clarification of specifications were my responsibility and with little fuss the client now has a working application which matched their desired intention- SQL 2000, Visual Studio 2008, ASP .Net 3.5, LINQ to SQL, MS Enterprise Library were used for this project

- My first 2 months were spent working as part of a large team responsible for delivering a major version release of Coin’s main product. This required integrating comprehensive scope items into an established product while ensuring a thorough understanding of the underlying product and business requirements- After completing delivery I moved into Coin’s web application development team, here I established the design pattern for an internal web application which was subsequently implemented by myself and 4 others. I was responsible for maintaining code quality across the team as well as scope item delivery- My SOA experience led me to implement and advise on the design pattern required for a major set of distributed WCF services. I reformed their security and service model to help bring their services to an enterprise level- As Coin was merged with Macquarie, my SOA experience led me to take the role of .Net architect for integration of Coin's web application with Macquarie's Java development. This involved participating and presenting to Macquarie's architectural review committee for future Coin web application development and working within a split team of Java and .Net. The result was highly rewarding for all parties- This project utilised VSTS 2008, .Net 3.5, SQL 2005, WCF, AJAX, Entity Framework 3.5, Enterprise Library 5

.Net architect and senior developer

- My primary role was to join the team responsible for creating Colonial’s new client services application, a system which provides complete financial data to public facing teams within Colonial- A true enterprise application, it provides data from core mainframe data sources presented in an intuitive web format using a robust SOA- I was assigned a key portion of the application which required a high level of business analysis and technical ability to complete successfully- This project utilised VS 2008, .Net 3.5, SQL 2005, WCF, AJAX

- MyTickets.com.au was an internet startup which after proving the concept of its business needed to invest in a more reliable technical solution- Through analysis a solution proposal was developed, including redesign of their database schema and a ground up approach to replace their existing solution- I was responsible for the technical redesign, writing proofs and unit tests of all proposed components and ensuring that the full time staff are happy with the implementation of the solution- For this project VS 2008, SQL 2005, LINQ to SQL, WCF, ASP.Net MVC, Nant, Nunit, MS Unity DI

- I was contracted to evaluate and complete the back-end development of ING’s F1 campaign site, in turn this would then drive the Flash UI and provide a basic admin utility for global content contributors- 4 Flash UI developers and I were assigned to this project, given a tight deadline it was imperative that my written proposal and specification performed to meet the client and developer requirements, which it did.- During this project I utilised VS 2005, SQL 2005, XSLT and XML

Explore how MS Workflow Foundation (.Net 3.5 and VS 2008) could be best utilised within a new project they were planning to develop in 2008. Essentially it involved re-examining and re-defining an existing proposed project’s business requirements and creating proof of concepts which exploited the new development features.After proofs were accepted, the solution structure and pattern created; I then handed it over to full time developers Development moved to VS 2008, .Net 3.5, LINQ; as well as using VS 2005, SQL 2000 and SQL 2005

Online timesheet system; defined the architecture/design patterns which would allow a small team to complete a large amount of work in a very short space of time. After writing the proof of concepts; I functioned as part of the team as well as providing team support.Development of a web appraisal system to integrate with an existing data solution; this system allowed agencies to design and create their own appraisal questionnaires to determine what employers thought about candidates and vice-versa.In each of these projects I used VS 2005, C#, ASP.Net 2.0, SQL 2000, XML and XSL. Due to previous experience, I also introduced the MS Enterprise Libraries, NUnit, Nant and Cruise Control.

Some projects which I was involved with:Flora Good for Your Heart - Heart age calculator. Joining at the end of the project; I implemented OO principles, n-Unit testing and methods for bulk test results. http://www.floraloveyourheart.ie/.A common web service which unified how UI developers worked with middle tier developers and vice versa. Vodafone F1 Finger RacingVodafone F1 internal company competition, support for HTML UI and admin tools.Vodafone F1 racing http://www.vodafone-racing.com, UK Talk to Frank http://www2.talktofrank.com, Sony My Song (yet to be released), British Television Advertising Awards http://www.btaa.co.uk, Magnum SMS competitions http://www.mymagnum.co.uk, ITV Talk to Me http://www.whore-or-bore.com.Solutions were primarily developed using VS 2005, C#, ASP.NET 2.0, MS SQL 2000 or 2005, XML, MS Enterprise Libraries, NUnit, and Cruise Control.
