Software Engineer

Highlights: Leadership, autonomous design decisions and creative engineering execution. Writing good code.

I created various programs and frameworks, which assisted in new and modified business processes. Flexibility and reliability were given a high priority in the frameworks that I have developed. Our clients were the main suppliers of various large retailing groups. A letter of recommendation for the work I have done at NBS is available at https://www.nowlabs.net/files/resume/NBS.jpg. I was also involved in various facets of the company’s activities such as interviewing prospective employees as well as occupational health and safety.

Most of my development work at NBS was accomplished in the C#/.Net framework. Given below are some of the tools and techniques I have worked with.

  • The Infragistics presentation layer on both the Web and Windows platform.
  • Crystal Report creation and integration into both the Windows and Web platform.
  • ASP.Net application programming using Forms based authentication, role based authorization, scheduling, logging and reporting.
  • .Net Remoting through the TCP and HTTP layer.

  • C# plug-in based programming implemented using Interface polymorphism and inheritance polymorphism.
  • Code access security and digitally signed assemblies.
  • Auto-updatable components hosted off IIS.
  • Web service programming including integration of Web Service Enhancements (WSE 1.0 and WSE 2.0) for secure access to web- services.
  • Creating Wizard style user interfaces for programs with a procedural flow of execution.
  • Creating specialized setup programs to deploy both web and windows applications.

C#
I have written various web applications, web services and windows applications with C# on the .Net framework when I was working at Nexus Business Systems. I have attached documents that include short descriptions/screenshots to convey the features/look and feel of a few of the C# programs/frameworks that I have coded. All sensitive information has been blurred out.
