  • Oct 2019 - Jan 2021

  Working as part of an Agile Development team my responsibilities at CashFlows are to work with Business Analysts and QA Testers to implement user stories across our range of .NET Core REST API’s. A developer at CashFlows is expected to write efficient, high quality maintainable C# and SQL code which is production ready by the end of our 3 week sprint. At Cashflows we utilise a range of frameworks and utilities to ensure high standards. Automated unit testing is carried out using xUnit with Fluent Assertions. We use Github for version control using a Gitflow branching strategy to manage releases. Pull requests are peer-reviewed, unit tested and more recently demonstrated to a QA before being merged into a feature branch. Our .NET solutions are deployed to Linux Servers hosted by Amazon Web Services using Team City and Chef. Logs for all of our environment are aggregated using Splunk. I have worked on a number of interesting projects whilst at Cashflows including a major refactor to enable batching in our Account Updater API. I played a crucial role in the implementation of integration tests using Specflow when the business shifted to BDD and have recently helped with the implementation and certification with Visa of 3DS v2 within the Cashflows Payments API.

  • Nov 2018 - Oct 2019

  At PA Consulting I was responsible for developing solutions using a mixture of technologies including .NET C#, SQL, SSIS, BizTalk and SharePoint. In the short time I was at PA Consulting I was involved in a number of releases ranging from rudimentary updates to existing C# and BizTalk applications to the development and deployment of C# applications, including an invoice conversion application which copied and converted invoices from a network share to SharePoint. Whilst at PA I also delivered a small project to create a BizTalk solution which uploaded employee details to a third party mail application which was used by the business to send targeted email communications. Whilst at PA Consulting I refined my ability to learn technologies and rapidly learned how to support and develop BizTalk and SSIS to effectively debug and troubleshoot integration problems. I also had exposure to a different style of coding and have read a great deal of code which used different frameworks and methods of providing .NET solutions.
