I have recently joined Folding Space in the role of Senior Software Developer predominantly working on web projects predominatly using .net 2.0/3.0/3.5 technologies.

Initially approached to help with knowledge transfer within the NRKE development team, I have continued to give technical advice on design and assist with the implementation of new features of their website. I have primarily been involved in extending user functionality on their portal web site and enhancing the reliability of the site's search mechanism, amongst a host of other changes. Technologies used are ASP.Net/C#/.net 2.0 framework, Sql Server 2005, and aggregation & syndication with other websites using RSS.Atom/XML. I took on the contract additional to my permanent employment to diversify my technical knowledge.

Since joining Scout Solutions, my main role has been developing the new core framework of our core business product. My duties have been involved in designing a multi-tiered framework of loosely coupled components that can be tailored to differing client’s requirements. The solution is fully object orientated, and we have used .NET 2.0 framework, Spring framework and nhibernate data access technologies for the Business and Data Access Layers. Unfortunately due to commerical pressures within the organisation, Scout had to reduce headcount and I was made redundant.

Initially my role at Isis was web developer working in small teams, typically of 2 to 5 people. My role involves working on business-to-business web solutions, predominantly using ASP, ASP.NET (.NET 1.0) and SQL Server 2000 technology. Since starting with ISIS, I have undergone extensive training in ASP.NET using C#, which culminated in the design, implementation and delivery of a business-to-customer e-commerce solution. I achieved Microsoft certifications including MCP 70-315 whilst in this role. In the last year and a half with the company I moved into account management of two clients, and looking after development work on two other medium scale web applications.

I joined the company in the role of graduate software engineer. During my time at Marconi I worked on several projects. These projects required rapid application development and were conceived and delivered on a two to three month timescale. I was involved in n-tier solutions based on front-end ASP interface, business logic written in VB-COM and a SQL Server 7 back-end database. I also have undergone several training programs and courses including a graduate professional development program, C and C++ language courses, as well as UML and OO design methods. I left Marconi due to well-publicised job insecurity and limited future career opportunity.
