Responsibilities : - Trainer: OOP, C#, Entity Framework, WCF, WPF, ASP.NET, Silverlight, Windows Phone plus custom courses about software design, testing and Team Foundation Server. - Software designer - Developer: technical lead for internal .NET projects and junior teams Job description : Besides training, I also had a major role as a software designer and developer for .NET projects that were developed internally either for Vision or for customers. I often try to include junior developers into the projects to teach them how to work in a team with strong rules on Team Foundation Server and how to make benefit of a good design, things that they didn't learn at school. The major project is a modular application for the training center in which I designed an n-tier structure with the repository pattern and SOA. We needed various technologies for the different modules: Silverlight with a lot of code-behind animations, WCF, ASP.NET, Entity Framework. I also configured TFS with automated tests, work item tracking and check-in policies.

Jun 2009 - Feb 2011
Responsibilities: - Analyst, document writing : methods description, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, user guides - Developer : Entity Framework layer, hundreds of Linq queries, WCF service, XML import/export from/to database, T-SQL structure upgrade scripts - Software designer : server-side layers definition, generic plug-ins, generic layers, cross-layer exception management, design patterns: singleton, active record, proxy, factory, repository Project description: The application was developed for the complete management of rail travel in different countries, setting up stations announcements on trains. The global environment included a Windows client application, a server (which I was responsible) and a simulator to be installed directly on trains. My first task was to regain control over the server side and replace existing data access layer with Entity Framework. I must also bring hundreds of SQL queries in Linq because the client wanted to avoid stored procedures up to avoid problems of using another database management system. After about a month, I was also entrusted the management of the database (modified structures, script creation or migration from one version to another), and package delivery. The management server part involved a redefinition of its architecture, which was entrusted to me as well. All data should be imported or exported by plug-ins in various formats (XML, text, dat). Some of these plug-ins were already developed in India. But after many bugs back, I was asked to recreate a new generic system that can be used whatever the type of import / export. Then I had to oversee the Indian team so that the existing plug-ins meet the new architecture and generic plug-in could call one of their plug-ins if necessary. All phases of development should be accompanied by comprehensive analysis documents (cfr. responsabilities) Technologies: .NET 3.5 SP1, SQL Server 2008, WCF, Entity Framework, Linq, Enterprise Architect Show less
