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. The solution is close to delivery.

I took a lead role in designing three of ten components and overseeing the design on the entire framework. The company uses Enterprise Architect as its design tool. My duties also included developing business logic and unit testing in two further sizeable components. I also manage our SMS and Data imports (SQL Server 2000/05) for many of our client’s sites, which exposed me extensively to XML and XSLT technologies. I am currently furthering my Microsoft certification. My role has also been diverse as well to include account management of two clients for four month periods each, in a system analyst capacity. I also have been actively involved in the development of the company’s social awareness and responsibility.

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.
