Self-Hosted ASP.NET Web Services, Web Api, JSON, C#, Windows Server 2012, T-SQL Worked with SANGIX, an NHS secondary care supplier, to build telephone based functionality to compliment the web and on-site
touchscreen application deployed in phlebotomy clinics in Berkshire. C#, COM, Web Services, JSON, T-SQL
(2015) Created robust and secure automated build and deployment system allowing for 'one-click' deployment
of encrypted patch files for Websites, Windows Services, System-Tray (auto startup) and Client Applications, all in a single update. Required on-line and off-line installations and simple updates. Installation of a complicated

MSI, Encrypted Files, Checksums, IIS, Windows Services, Web Services, WinForms Performed security review
to ensure proper encryption of sensitive data. C#, ASP.NET Web Api, Sql Server, .NET Encryption
(2014) Architected and developed robust and fault tolerant analytics capture system for user demographics,
hourly usage and support metrics, extracting historical data from previously logged events. and reporting data on
dashboards for directors, account managers and support. The success of this project was partly due to the agile
development process, with short sprints and frequent stakeholder interaction. FDLC, Analytics Dashboard,

affecting thousands of users daily. Made low level code improvements to reduce response times and secured API
changes with partner to reduce search times from over a minute to under 5 seconds on most systems. TPP

Patient Partner (PP)

Software Architect, Developer and Product Owner of this greenfi eld project -
the system provided patients of GP practices with round-the-clock appointment booking and repeat prescription
management, reducing the load on reception staff and increasing patient satisfaction. Starting with one customer,
PP later became £million revenue stream for the company.
As Product Owner, I met with existing and potential clients supporting marketing and sales teams, and nurtured
good relationships with partner organisations achieving accreditation with all the Primary NHS CfH clinical systems
suppliers. As the sole developer I used the company's voice engine and a multitude of partner APIs to create the
system and worked well with members of support and installation teams to provided 3rd-line support and to streamline installation and fault finding. I worked with people of all levels, from directors to build engineers, even
performing installations and supporting end-users directly in order to understand their needs.
Initially developed in C++ the software was later ported to C# using .NET Interop as part of a major redesign. The
product included configuration and reporting applications with monthly reports automatically emailed to practice
managers and account managers. C++, COM, MS Access (VBA), C#, .NET COM Interop, WinForms, Sql Server,
