October 2002 – April 2007 (4 years 7 months)

I was a member of the global Build Deployment Solutions team, in addition I was line manager for four members of the team who were distributed throughout the UK. Our team was responsible for the implementation, customisation and support of tools that we had originally developed. This involved client engagement, requirements gathering, project management and technical implementation. I provided a mixture of technical and management skills to the team as well as the direct development new tools.

Prior to this my focus was purely on development with the following three significant projects with numerous smaller, additional ones:
• I was responsible for the original development, and later lead development of a hardware/software discovery tool set that was used to determine a customers estate prior to transformation to a managed infrastructure. It consisted of a client written in Delphi and server components written in .NET/C#. When I left the tool set contained information on well over 500,000 devices across numerous customers networks worldwide.
• A stripped down version of the discovery toolset was commissioned to automate the assignment of asset tags to devices based on specific hardware details. Again this was written in a combination of Delphi and .NET.
• Finally I created a web-based reporting application in Ruby on Rails with a PostgreSQL database which provided access to previously incomprehensible reports, and at the same time provided a intuitive method of using the data that was extremely well received

My work within this team, specifically regarding the hardware discovery tool, led to me being nominated for CSC's Leading Edge technology excellence awards for both 2004 and 2005. I was also responsible for the development and implementation of a development management system using the Open Source tools Trac and Subversion.

April 1998 – October 2002 (4 years 7 months) Sellafield, Cumbria

For this role I was sub-contracted through Alexander Mann and Lorien to I.T.Services (later bought by CSC) who provided services to BNFL.

I joined CSC initially as a Lotus Notes specialist and later as a general technical specialist. Throughout this role I was responsible for numerous applications, scripts and web applications utilising Perl, Delphi, PHP and later .NET.

My Lotus Notes duties included:
• Day-to-day management and administration of BNFL's multiple clusters of servers, which were divided between mail and application provision
• Implementation and maintenance of a dial-in gateway, later utilised by off-site servers for replication
• Creation and development of a user registration application that automated the creation of both Lotus Notes and Microsoft Windows NT users along with group membership, and mail/profile population
• Creation of a server monitoring service, developed in PHP and MySQL
• Creation of numerous Lotus Notes based applications including discussion and workflow features

Aside from my Lotus Notes role, I was also involved in the following projects:
• Creation of Delphi based message broadcast system that would notify users during login
• Design and development of a Microsoft Windows XP/2000 infrastructure that made full use of available Microsoft technologies including Active Directory, Group Policy Objects, Windows Installer, and remote deployment
• Creation of a hardware/software discovery tool to assist with deployment planning for the above infrastructure. The information was gathered with a variety of tools and scripts, while the results were stored in an SQL Server database with a ASP.NET based web interface
