Sabi Technology, has recently started a project to implement a cross selling of partner’s products for a leading US travel company. Traditionally, they have not relied on cross-selling, but as the amount of on-line business increases, they have a need to increase sales through the on-line channels. I was responsible for the design and implementation of XML interfaces to several external suppliers using web services and the implementation of a new front end for maintenance.

I was part of a small team (8 - 12 people) working on a multi-million pound project to develop web-based tools to support the renewal and maintenance of the UK rail system using an agile development process.
As one of the senior members of the team I was responsible for creating and maintaining standards and for training and mentoring junior members of the team.
Using an agile methodology meant that I was involved in the whole project life cycle from requirements to maintenance.
The first prototype application was developed using Java but to gain improvements in productivity it was decided that all the subsequent development would use Ruby on Rails.
The success of this project – the first agile project within Network rail - contributed to higher quality maintenance of the railways and a large reduction in costs.
