During this period I have been working with multiple clients delivering technical solutions using a variety of technologies. Projects so far have included:Self Service Cloud Portal (ASE IT)This project is for a Syndey based cloud provider to enable their customers to gain visibility into and to manage their cloud based resources. It integrates with a variety of external systems including Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud, OpManager, Netsuite, NetApp and Confluence. The software is mainly written using Node.js (Express.js), MongoDB, Redis and Varnish but it also has components written using Java and C#. I was responsible for all programming.Intabank - Marketing website for a global bandwidth exchange. Built using bootstrap.Mentoring Australia's Apprentices Project (MAAP)This is a system that facilitates and records interaction between apprentices, mentors and managers. It features a reasonably complex set of business rules based on roles and geographic location. The system is written using Drupal and I was responsible for all of the programming using PHP. Gamification based iPhone ApplicationCurrently under development this application is written in Objective-C and TouchDB with node.js, express.js and CouchDB on the server. The application utilises GPS, in app purchases and the audio APIs and it will be launching soon.

During my time at Bullseye I was responsible for managing the technical delivery of Kentico and Drupal based websites using SCRUM to manage offshore development teams. The websites were for high profile Australian clients including Premium Wine Brands, QBE, Mirvac and Creative Holidays. The position included:• Being heavily involved in the sales process• Working closely with clients and third party vendors• Ensuring quality timely delivery of projects within budget• Contributing to the technical direction of the company with the other senior technical staff members• Being the technical point of contact with CMS vendors

● Providing technical input on project specifications● Consulting with clients and producers to create technical solutions to business needs● Working with complex designs involving multiple projects● Mentoring other developer’s technical skills and work ethics● Managing technical resources to effectively meet client’s requirements● Driving and actively participating in the development team recruitment process● Assisting in project scoping and requirements gathering● Approving project estimates for development delivery● Ensuring projects are being delivered on time and budget● Initiating internal projects to increase productivity and quality● Ensuring high software development standards are adhered to across the teamDuring my time in this role I have been responsible for the design of a kiosk platform, targeting several networks of approximately 2500 machines. The server side features a content management system and a content scheduling engine. The client side is composed using a plug-in based architecture delivering a very flexible, lightweight, schedule based content player. The system is used to deliver content to interactive kiosks, video walls and multi-screen video displays. It is been in used at Telstra, Bankwest, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Ausgrid. More recently I have been working on mobile applications with a particular focus on iPhone development.

I worked in a small team producing a Ferrari branded promotional website for European AMD resellers. The site contained a combination of educational material and targeted games designed to run for the duration of the Formula One season. The entire site was available in seven languages. At Cell Telecom we produced the public facing and administration areas, the server side logic and the database. We were responsible for the communication between the Flash games and the server side logic which was achieved using XML based services.My technical responsibilites included designing and producing the ASP.Net code, the SQL Server database and T-SQL stored procedures.

I worked as the technical lead of a team producing a public facing web application that is being used to collection pension scheme data for the British Government. The data is being used to raise the £800 million levy required by the PPF (Pension Protection Fund). The project was developed using the SCRUM agile development methodology. During the project I designed a custom code generation strategy, creating a custom DSL (Domain Specific Language) using the Visual Studio SDK. This language was successfully used to create the application’s domain model, data access code, stored procedures and normalized database. This strategy allowed us to quickly create an optimized application with very few bugs. It was used on several subsequent projects in order to reduce the delivery time and related development and testing costs.

I was the technical lead of a team that produced an intranet application used in the regulation of pension schemes by the British Government. The project was developed using the SCRUM agile development methodology which resulted in all aspects being delivered to specification, on time and on budget.The application was built using a three tiered, fully transactional and scalable, service oriented architecture (SOA). The UI tier was constructed using ASP.NET 2.0 custom controls and CSS layout.The resulting pages all conformed to the British Government’s accessibility standards (W3C). The business tier was programmed using C# 2.0, Enterprise Library (from Microsoft) and ADO.NET. The data tier was produced using SQL Server 2000 with all data operations performed using Transact-SQL stored procedures. The main database kept a full historical record of the organisation’s data including logically deleted entities.

I was responsible for programming the reporting component of a website written in ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. All reports were created using stored procedures in SQL Server 2000. I was also responsible for the creation of a dynamic letter/fax producing service which I wrote using C#, XSLT, and T-SQL. All code was written using industry standard design patterns and was unit tested using NUnit.
