databases, as well as maintaining and enhancing those systems used by up to a thousand simultaneous

• Provided performance improvements to stored procedures being used by crystal reports. Some reports
were originally taking 10 minutes to run. I managed to get them to execute in less than 1 minute.
• Performance improvements to the main C# windows applications known as Business Desktop and Schools
Manager. Both applications have hundreds of users. Business Desktop is the companies MIS. Schools
Manager is used by external customers such as local education authorities. Performance improvements
were made to these applications by reviewing SQL traces to identify areas of repeat processing and eliminating them. Then also reviewing the data retrievals methods to shorten result sets.
• Modifying the C# reporting engine within Business Desktop to run crystal reports from different database
servers. This was to ease large report processing on the primary server which would cause slow usability
on Business Desktop.

TalentQ.
Technologies: C# VS 2008, SQL Server 2005, ASP.Net, GDI+
Highlights:
• TalentQ provides online psychometric assessments for organisations of all sizes. These assessments are
used for the recruitment or personal development of employees.
• Developed an eLearning site for users to gain British Psychological Level A & B training qualifications.
• Developed an online exam system for candidates that completed the TalentQ level A & B eLearning
training.
• Developed A secure PDF reporting engine based on the results of candidates psychometric tests. My
additions to this reporting system involved a large rewrite of the code to make it easily maintainable, run
quicker and translatable into different languages which allowed the company to expand its presence into
foreign markets.
• Developed a better user interface for bulk administrative tasks such as creating users with multiple tests
assigned to them and being able to produce their reports in bulk. This was a huge success in the TalentQ
system as it allowed the clients to do more of their own administrative work rather than passing this on to the TalentQ support team.
• I improved a Personal Development Process (PDP) web site for a client (Capita). The PDP system had no
user interface to allow a user to set up managers, employees and the reviews that managers did on their
employees. I also created a simple reporting system that let the PDP administrator know which reviews
were still outstanding.

Software Developer
eSpares Ltd.
Technologies: C#, ASP.Net, SQL Server 2000, Crystal Reports
Highlights:
• Played a major role in maintaining the administrative website used to control nearly all business activities.
Known as "The Back Office", it allowed me to develop some strong skills in MS SQL Server 2000, Crystal
Reports and further increase my knowledge of C# and ASP.Net programming.
• Modified the Back Office to enable call centre staff to email customers informing them of the different
stages that their products had passed through, before being despatched to them. This reduced the call
centres workload by not having to answer calls from customers chasing their orders.
• Developed and maintained up to 30 Crystal Reports for the board of directors to aid them with their
decision making.
• Improving the speed of the reports by performance tuning the SQL server stored procedures.
• Enhanced an existing C# release manager application to retrieve the latest files from source control to the users' hard drive, compile them, compress the relevant files, and FTP them to a server. My addition to this
project further allowed my senior developers to save a large amount of time by not having to do this
manually as there were many sites that used this deployment process.
