Mar 2010 - May 2017
In my time at Atlas, I singularly redeveloped the company's Learning Management System (UNIFY), transforming it into a fully fledged ASP.Net application, which grew to incorporate client specific modules for Appraisals and Competence Management. The application lead to further development of a remote solution which was installed on rigs and vessels and synchronised data with the central system. I was fully responsible for the specification, development and testing of the solution followed by helping the support and deployment team with the roll out of the system and supporting clients. A windows application was also developed to accompany UNIFY. The whole development of UNIFY and its add-ons were completed by myself. I have also been responsible for managing teams of contractors we have hired to help with bus projects, including a three month project to create a new website portal for the OPITO IMIST (International Minimum Industry Safety Training) course and an 18 month project to develop a brand new Competence Assurance Management System (CAMS). During my time at Atlas I have used a wide range of technologies including ASP.NET, MVC, Web API, AngularJS, jQuery, ExtJS, Ext.Net, NHibernate, Entity Framework, WPF, NUnit, MS Test, SQL Server 2005 onwards.
