Project history
Worked on internal systems to handle reading various energy utility meter files and obtaining of
utility meter reads, either by a human reading the meter on site or reading a smart meter
remotely.
The first application handled the flow of the utility meter files throughout the system. Extending
the existing functionality using .net 4.6 before migrating the project to .net core 5+
The second system handled the scheduling of utility meter reads either using a smart meter or a
human. This project was a complete rewrite using .net 5/6 Restful API's, including two small
front-end projects written using Angular. I designed and implemented the API's and test
environments to fit around existing functionality.
Latterly I modified a mobile application to allow users to enter their daily mileage. This used a
mixture of C# restful API's, being called from a Xamarin based mobile app for Android. This needed
be to function offline, so SQLite was used as a local data store.
For all projects I designed and implemented a SpecFlow based, system testing framework. System
testing was used due to a large part of the business logic being in the database, prior to being
moved to Rest API
Also developed a way to auto document all the Fluent Validation rules within the application.

The first project was to create a custom page on the portal, to report on when a user had not
filled in a timesheet. This was presented to the user as a year-to-date calendar using JavaScript,
jQuery and the framework Underscore.js.
The second project was to provide a means of exporting the receipts to a Zip file. This involved
interrogating the Clarizen API to extract the data, then transforming the data into either JSON,
CSV or Excel files for the user to download via an Endpoint. Integration testing was done using
SpecFlow and XUnit.

The prime project was to integrate a new loan management software application into the workflow.
This involved creating .net core API and SSIS packages to integrate with Achiever CRM, DocuSign/
Adobe eSign and NEXUM. Created APIs to automate the manual process of sending contracts to the
customer for electronic signature.
