Software Developer
Jaama LTD.
(http://www.jaama.com)
Working as a VB.Net Winforms developer as part of a team of 10, I was responsible for developing and maintaining a number of software products aimed at fleet management; primarily their flagship product Key2. Duties ranged from bug fixing legacy code, to working on specifications drawn up for new developments. Jaama used an agile development methodology along with SCRUM.
• Fault finding and bug fixing issues that are raised from customers through the in-house customer support team. This
involves interpreting the issues from a support ticket, confirming & replicating it, and developing a coded solution.
• Working with the testing team to ensure quality of the end product delivered to the customer. The methods moved more
towards a Test Driven Development style during the latter half of my employment
• Using Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2013 for source control and to track issues to be worked, and in progress.
• Using an Agile methodology and participate in daily SCRUM meetings with fellow developers to discuss the previous day's
work, current outstanding work and any issues currently preventing progress.
• Played a major role in reducing the number of outstanding bugs from ~800 to 250 in my first 3 months which in turn
helped the Support team reduce the number of inbound calls by half

job
Software Development Manager
Secus LTD/Hydron Debt & Metering.
Working within a debt collection and metering company serving the utilities/energy market; I was initially recruited to help
improve their IT offering, improve some of their old IT practices and help the current IT team improve their systems. I did this by
identifying areas where their current systems could be improved in terms of efficiency and value for money.
• One of the first areas I tackled was legacy Excel scripts that they were using to process data from their CRM system
(SugarCRM). This exported data was used to generate reports and imports into other systems. Using my knowledge of SQL/MySQL I was able to replace these Excel scripts with more efficient SQL statements that directly exported the data
they needed instead. This removed many of the Excel scripts and saved hours of work each day on processing them.
• Working with a sister company of Secus, (Hydron LTD). I suggested that SugarCRM wasn't the best choice of CRM to be
using for what they needed and offered to develop a bespoke software solution instead. This involved using a .Net toolkit
- DevExpress (http://www.devexpress.com), .NET 4.5, Entity Framework and a SQL backend. I developed the whole
project from scoping, right the way through to deployment. The application was created in VB.net and Winforms.
• To further enhance the data communications between energy companies and Secus, I also suggested that they put in place a WCF web service which would allow real-time data transfers; this was more secure than Excel and also required
no input from staff; again saving hours of labour time to produce the reports/exports. This was also written in VB.net and connected to the SQL database to expose data externally.
• Lead a project with Extra Energy which involved making Secus systems talk to Extra Energy systems. The specification
called for real time notifications of when work was completed by Secus. I produced a WCF web service which enabled
Extra Energy to query the CRM system I had developed directly. When seeing the benefits of the system, they
implemented a similar thing at their end which I wrote code to interact with.
