Cape

• Lead Engineer

  • Mar 2022 - Jan 2023

  We build an expense management platform for the Australian market. I joined Cape when it was a start-up that had just begun trialling an expense management solution to friends and family. The application at the time was written using .NET Framework (4.6), running on IIS windows virtual machine. I updated the code base to a DotNet Core 6, ASP.NET Core, and Entity Framework Core to run on Linux docker containers to auto-scale and reduce the GCP cost. I rewrote the authorisation implementation from a bespoke to an OAuth2 standard implementation. I conducted interviews and recruited developers. I got the team up to speed with the codebase, helped the team embrace the async await, enabled the C# 10 nullable in the projects, and reduced the warnings to manageable numbers. I paired-programmed with the junior devs to code review to ensure we produced clean, maintainable code. I automated accounting tasks such as calculating balances, generating statements, creating payment requests, and collecting payments by implementing background jobs to enable Cape to scale. I created the continuous integration pipeline with automated builds and deployment using TeamCity. I created diagrams and documentation for system architecture and external systems integration to be shared with potential investors for the formal fundraising due diligence process. I implemented the push notification with WebSockets to send messages and auth requests for payments. I completed the integration of the external accounting systems (Xero). Show less

• Haskell Developer

  • Jul 2020 - Oct 2021

  Tracsis is a leading provider of software products, hardware products, and consultancy services for the rail industry. I have worked as part of a small team of developers delivering new features and bug fixes to the Tracsis Enterprise application for rail planning and control. The app is written in Haskell with PostgreSQL as the event store and the front end using Vue. Technologies used: Haskell, Vue.js, TypeScript, ES6, jQuery, Bootstrap 3, Selenium, C#, PostgreSQL, bash, and Linux. Highlights: I created an excel file generator to generate large Xlsx files with multiple tabs, each with different configurations. A vue.js downloader component would send requests via WebSocket to the generator, a Yesod Haskell backend. I optimised the import and syncing of the Unit diagrams with an existing timetable to reduce the memory footprint. I utilise the WebSocket within the CQRS architecture to give updates and lock information to the users in real-time when viewing a Unit diagram detail page. Show less
