ICNARC.
ICNARC is an independent center that provides high quality audit information through their national clinical audits. The Case Mix Programme (CMP) is an audit of patient outcomes from adult, general critical care units (intensive care and combined intensive care/high dependency units) covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The CMP is listed in the Department of Health's 'Quality Accounts' as a recognized national audit by the National Advisory Group on Clinical Audit & Enquiries (NAGCAE) for 'Acute' care.
I was hired by ICNARC as a Senior Software Consultant to look at the rewrite of the CMP system. As part of my job, I was involved in eliciting requirements for the new CMP system by using a combination of interviews, existing document analysis, requirements workshops, surveys, hospital visits, business process descriptions, use cases, scenarios, business analysis, task and workflow analysis.
I was involved in producing a Functional Specification and Technical Specification document for ICNARC that outlined the plan for the new CMP system. I was also involved in architecting the cloud platform (Azure) where the solution was proposed to be hosted.
My past experiences as a Solutions Architect and Developer in the past greatly helped me to plan effectively when capturing user requirements and modelling them to a technical solution.
Technologies Used: MS Visio, Balsamiq, Azure architecture, Microservices
Project: RADIATE

Solutions Architect
Randstad Sourceright.
(2.5 years)
Randstad Sourceright is an operating company of Randstad, the second largest HR services provider in the world with global revenues of $22 billion
RSR (UK) intended to replace their legacy application with an integration services platform for integrating their VMS (Vendor Management Systems) data with their Pay&Bill System and also for creating integration between the VMS and Bullhorn, the front office system for sourcing candidates.
I was initially involved in the process mapping with the business process team, eventually working on the solution design and architecture by having discussions with the VMS providers and internal project stake holders. I was also then involved in the complete SDLC and deployment/implementation of the solution.
The core application was designed as a set of REST interfaces on Microservices architecture and was developed using Web API 2.0 (.NET/C#).
Specflow and NUnit were used as the BDD and TDD layers, respectively.
The front end used Bootstrap, JQuery and built using MVC 5.0.
The backend was in SQL Server 2014 with Entity Framework architecture
Key Benefits
• Stabilized extracts of time and attendance data feeds direct from the VMS systems via automated extracts and APIs
• Improved the quality of data exporting and has stabilized current payroll and billing processes by removing manual payroll uploads that require no manual intervention other than error handling
• Allowed the business to make an estimated c.£150k-£200k of headcount savings as a result of automation and increased efficiency
• Provided the business with a range of standard interfaces and implementation guidelines for future implementations that can be accommodated within existing payroll and billing systems without costly bespoke development or manual workarounds
• Created a scalable, maintainable infrastructure and integration platform that will facilitate future profitable growth
Technologies Used: C#, MVC5, Bootstrap, JQuery, SQL Server 2014, EF, RabbitMQ, Specflow, NUnit, Microservices, Javascript, JQuery
other significant projects
• Helped in the migration of legacy applications for a Housing Association (Hyde Housing). Was instrumental in drafting specification requirements, technical design and development of the core web services for the intranet
• Worked on a key project to create a platform for the exchange of digital assets over a secured portal for a world leading media organisation (DDB London)
• Was part of a key government project managed by Logica Systems
• Developed a portal for an airline consultancy firm for their fleet valuations portal
• Worked on a crucial treasury systems project for a media giant (Omnicom) in creating a portal to understand the financial health of their subsidiaries
