Took responsibility of the primary research and prototype development of what eventually became WealthPro version 3. I architected the system based on a microservices solution to enable scaling of independent modules, such as valuations when the data was in demand. I then built an integration package/library for the RabbitMQ service bus to allow communication and data sharing between each service.Used Microsoft Azure to put the application onto the cloud. Built all the VMs and Docker Compose files to get each Microservice up-and-running. Configured all the cloud security and reverse proxies to route through Cloudflare. Setup a MySQL server using MariaDB and setup daily running backups each night.In 2024, Save & Invest Financial Planning became a founding member in a new company, Shackleton - Britain's financial adviser.

Promoted to assist the IT Director whilst the team worked from home during the covid-19 pandemic. Took the lead with daily team meetings as-well-as Monday morning stand-ups to plan the weeks tasks.Worked on the Structured Portfolio Campaign during this time. I was required to write an application to take our current client's portfolios and calculate what had to be sold & bought to move them into one of our structured portfolios based on their volatility profile. This program also had to work out MIFID2 and product costs, taxes, etc. Once all that data was collected, I wrote a program that compiled it all into neatly structured letters that could then be printed and sent our clients for confirmation. Once the signed conset was returned, I had to package all the transactions up and send them to our admin team to start processing them.I was also in charge of helping to recruit and train 4 graduate software developers during the year of 2021 ready to start our in-pipeline WealthPro 3 project.

Accepted an offer to return to the company and continue working on the Savoir CRM project shortly before covid hit. I had to communicate with end users and add new features daily that were critical to the operations of the business. Savoir was an Estate Agency & Solicitor tool that let "both worlds" communicate without the need for separate systems to manage each part of the business. Including it's own joint Cashroom module.

Spent almost 3 years working here and took on a huge role in updating & overhauling many of their bespoke solutions for managing their clients. Some of the key projects that I worked in during my time here are:- WealthPro: A bespoke solution for IFAs to manage their clients investments on a day to day basis. Gave overviews of any outstanding tasks, reports to be written, and their clients portfolio value broken down into the various assets they hold. This was a legacy web-application written in C# MVC 3 with Ext.NET as the primary front-end framework.- Report Writer: C# MVC web application with AngularJS as the front end that allows report writers within the company to piece together a structured report in 'sections' that are then compiled into a final report/document. The created documents can be added to a private or shared 'library' of documents to be used as templates for writing additional reports for other clients. This applications also uses SignalR to provide real-time updates and allow collaboration while writing documents.- Savoir: Recently taken over this project from a former member of our development team. Half finished C# MVC web application that uses Ext.net (latest with Extjs 6) as the front end framework. It has since be re-written from the ground up to use AngularJS on the front-end and Web 2.0 API tied to a MySQL database for the backend. This application is to be used by solicitors and estate agents within the Save and Invest group to manager clients and properties more efficiently.

Lapland Holidays was a small family run business that offered inexpensive Christmas time holidays to Lapland. I was hired there at the start of my 4th year of University as a way for me to gain "real-world" web development experience whilst finishing my studies and preparing to move into full time work. Here I worked mainly with HTML & PHP to help the team rebuild their currently outdated website.During my time here, I got handson experience with large scale MS-SQL databases, backend server development with PHP and working with front end CSS frameworks like Boostrap.

Summer placement that involved assisting students of all levels on various computing degree courses with their summer exam & coursework resits. Required patience and an in-depth understand of the course/module content to ensure each student was able to reach the required pass mark to continue with their studies. I had to write several of the coursework applications during my placement to ensure that I had knowledge on how the re-sit coursework was to be completed so that I could assist those undertaking them.
