Contract Software Developer
Hazel IT Services.
♦ Created and implemented a C#/ASP.NET (Razor)/MVC tool to interface with a proprietary website CMS via a REST-based WebAPI for a local digital marketing agency. The tool's purpose was to provide a facility to bulk upload products parsed from an Excel data file to the stakeholder's on-line website catalogue. As part of the project, I also took charge of the data analysis, design consultation, and integrity validation.
♦ Designed and coded a bespoke business management database (Access 2016) to control all aspects of a custom food delivery business. This included clients, commission payments, meal plan ordering with substitutions for individual dietary requirements, ingredients, a pop-up alerts system, and bespoke financial reporting. This involved very detailed requirements gathering and examining of all the legacy Excel processes that needed converting into one centralised manageable system. Upon completion, the weekly ordering process for 100 clients was reduced from two days to just a single hour.
♦ Completed an overhaul and successfully applied multiple bug fixes on an MS Access-based CRM system for managing local council bus operators and route timetables. This involved reverse engineering a legacy system with no existing programming documentation, and additionally creating new processes for MI/reporting. Several parts of the existing functionality were re-written to accommodate VBA for Access 2013/2016 (key performance areas had been lost due to MS Office upgrades). The project was reviewed, designed, and implemented in just 20 working days.

Contract Legacy Software Specialist
RR Donnelley, Lancing.
♦ Reverse engineered and completed design and performance reviews of 40+ legacy Visual Basic 6 applications in just six months, which far exceeded the client's expectations. Drastically overhauled the end-of-day financial reporting export process (CSV, XML serialization) through enhancements and bug-fixing, which reduced customer complaints and issues raised to the helpdesk by 40%.
♦ Self-sufficiently absorbed all day-to-day legacy system crash support and Change Management across a 100+ user site, successfully diverting all issues away from the client's Polish remote support team.
♦ Worked extensively on the planning and development of migration schemas in preparation of a total migration to a new C# system, including the design and implementation of new Windows Services and T-SQL Stored Procedures to manage the daily re-indexing and export of data and cheque image archives across all company's legacy clients.
♦ Designed and coded in C# a Back Office electronic Microfiche application to retrieve historic cheque payments and correspondence data and images from SQL Server Management Studio 2008/2012 databases. The application dramatically improved the efficiency of the entire archiving process.

Software Engineer
IBM.
♦ Designed and coded (C#) a system to manage project timelines by interfacing MS Excel and the MS Outlook and IBM Lotus Notes calendar. The system was adopted by many project managers and achieved its goal of successfully increasing their efficiency.
♦ Reviewed and updated an MS Access database to control paper surveys, which was subsequently implemented on a 20,000 user project. The database improvements included additional code (VBA/6) to dynamically handle the different fonts in multi-language projects while still utilising a single report template, additional queries to strip HTML code, and improvements to the graphical output of the paper survey reports.
♦ Creation of MS PowerPoint (VB.Net) add-ins to automatically populate graphs and tables with report data from MS Excel data templates.
♦ Administration of multiple on-line survey project databases (MySQL / T-SQL / MS Access) and MS SharePoint.
♦ Providing the team with daily support in MS Excel in, for example, the design and coding VBA macros to handle previously difficult procedures like the sorting and formatting of corporate organisational hierarchy data into a usable standard format.

IT System Engineer & Consultant
Hazel Computing Ltd.
♦ Successfully project managed the disposal and recycling of 4000+ redundant PCs, laptops, and other items of IT hardware for Virgin Atlantic Airways over a time-period of 18 months. This included securely ending the company's asset management lifecycle and ensuring compliance with all data protection policies.
♦ Planned and installed a Windows 2003 server to allow two neighbouring screen-printing companies to work from the same hardware, yet still maintaining separate domains and privacy. This included a total revamp of the existing network infrastructure, which enabled wireless PC and printing connectivity across both domains.
♦ Designed and implemented a Front Office customer sales and marketing database (VB.NET/SQL), including stock control, for a local glazing company. The product was then subsequently deployed across several branches by integrating it with the existing server.
♦ Took charge of the IT system design and set-up for an Internet-based radio station. The basis of this was a Windows 2003 Server with a solid Group Policy to restrict on-site visitor access to their DJ training machines.
♦ Conducted a system health review for a large manufacturing company and took charge of a subsequent remote access anti-virus and spyware sweep across 22 branches. Once this had been successful, recommendations were then made, and a newly designed PC hardware and software policy was accepted and implemented.
