Projects

Almost all of the projects I work on require high levels of trust. They tend to have high impact for the customer, their team members, and their end users. Software I author is known to be relatively free of defects. I focus on building in a way that delivers value early and often.

By the numbers

Big projects

These are projects where I contributed at least 200 hours, and sometimes more than 1,000 hours.

Sales web app, order tracking

Primary industry customer X, 2019-present

I was a lead developer over five years architecting, building, and operating this software (SaaS). Launched in early 2019, with over 100 releases since. Angular, C#, T-SQL, Azure. Integration with Dynamics 365. Working with an internal team of developers and the customer's team: architect, BAs, Product Owner.

Full involvement at every step of the SDLC, including SoWs, BA, PM, Testing, DevOps, etc.

Impact: Drove the initial app through technical pivots and navigated the pitfalls of distributed systems. This software is now business critical and is a major success factor for a company that is a "household name" in New Zealand.

Angular C# T-SQL Azure

Contributed approx. 1,600 of 4,700 commits and lead dozens of successful releases.

Event tracking, sales enablement web app

Primary industry customer Y, 2021-present

I was the lead architect and developer of this system which tracks events, to enable the customer to plan for the arrival of items and sell them before they arrive.

Lots of integration, data processing, and rigour to meet legal requirements around reporting.

Lots of automation (terraform) and security (private networks etc).

Impact: This software is now business critical and forms part of the daily sales process for another "household name" New Zealand-based company.

This includes full SDLC of creating, updating, and maintaining the various internal frameworks.

C# Vintages: .NET 4, .NET 6, .NET 8.

Mostly based on T-SQL and Entity Framework 5 / 6, EF Core.

Architectures vary from Azure App Services, to Azure Functions, to Azure Logic Apps.

During this time I was one of the leads for the development of account security and related areas: login, onboarding, and so on.

"Pixel perfect" UI design requirement.

"Zero bug" requirement -- use pure functions and state management (NgRx) to prove zero bugs.

Auditing process / reporting tool

Government-level customer

I was a senior developer in the team that built this tool. With an "MVP" mindset, we got to production in just five sprints, saving taxpayer dollars in the process.

Auditing

GIS / auditing tool - internal

Government-level customer

I was the developer that ported this from AngularJS to Angular. C#, T-SQL, Azure. This laid the groundwork for subsequent factoring of the public tool (next project).

Combined, these projects increase the accessibility of important information to the wider public and remove both financial and bureaucratic burdens.

GIS

GIS / search tool - public

Government-level customer
