I am currently developing Blazor WASM app and EF Core API Server for a UK logistics company. The App has been developed in a way that allows for new functionality to be added very quickly system wide and for new data to be held and maintained.The main aim of the system is holiday management and visibility, support tickets, stock and vehicle management. There is also basic CRM functionality available. Show less

Working in an agile development environment, there are currently three main areas of development that I work on:1) Develop Blazor Server App. The App allows clients to view their 3D CAD model and estimate information. The App uses windows message queues to access data via the biscoPro server (Delphi XE).The 3D CAD model is displayed in the Blazor App using Javascript to embed the drawing control.2) Full stack development of the biscoPro product using Delphi RAD Studio XE10… Show more Working in an agile development environment, there are currently three main areas of development that I work on:1) Develop Blazor Server App. The App allows clients to view their 3D CAD model and estimate information.

Developing the backend systems for use by quantity surveyors e.g. job costing, and estimating3) Development of C# application that integrates with the biscoPro product. The quantity surveyors use the application to map the CAD drawing from the Architect to a 3D BIM Model. This program outputs BIM information to biscoPro that allows an estimate to be generated outlining how much it will cost to do the physical build of the building / rennovation in the CAD drawing.We use GitHub for source control using pull requests for peer review of code and a Jenkins build server for ongoing delivery. I carry out application testing before rolling out a new release using a combination of scripted unit testing (C# & Delphi) and hands on testing via the UI Show less
