  Contributed to enterprise application development: 1. Enhanced the self-service password reset website: - Increased the number of security questions for each account. The original implementation was a hard-coded view model and I changed the view model and view to accept and render a list. - Implemented random selection of a variable number of questions for each password reset request. 2. Updated database stored procedures: - Allowed a value to be larger than VARCHAR(MAX) by overflowing into multiple columns. Context: Each "trade" is encoded into a string inside a database column. Synchronisation between "trade" services involve a set number of database records (i.e. "batches"). My job was to increase the number of "trades" per synchronisation between such services. - Created unique identifiers for each synchronisation. Context: Each record has a "batch" number, "trade" date, and other such values that are unique to a subset of records. My job was to write a procedure to generate unique identifiers by extracting such values and processing them. 3. Wrote Windows batch utility scripts for housekeeping: - One that converts database tables to CSV format, - And another that generates one XML file per XML element from a predetermined column which contains a string in XML format.
