I started at a young age developing and delivering software applications as a freelancer which I developed into a small company later on. My proactive personality made me succeed, but due to the global economy and the lack of opportunity in my origin country, I was forced to look for new markets. I then moved to London in June 2008 and accepted an offer to work in a private company which works with the public sector in the UK, in order to get more experience, improve the skills I already owned and obviously, hoping to learn new methodologies, techniques and also improve my business knowledge.
During the past two years, I delivered high quality and performance web based software applications, where my client portfolio includes organisations such as Ministry of Justice, Home Office, NHS, Department of Health and many others. Most of the applications I worked on are worth between Ã�£400.000 to Ã�£1.5 million each.
To build these applications I've worked with ASP.NET C# and Microsoft SQL 2005, backed with JavaScript, AJAX and jQuery for the UI interactions. I've also used XML templates to build Excel exports, .NETCHARTING and Dundas to build the charts in the bespoke reports; ABCPDF ASP.NET Component to generate PDF files for the reports;
I've also implemented the best source control and application auto deployment pratices using SVN Source Control (Tortoise + Collabnet) and NAnt; For database deployment I've been using the Redgate Data and Structure compare tools to generate the SQL change scripts;
Some of the qualities which makes me stand out are:
- follower of the cutting edge standarts on developing, testing and delivering software applications, implementing and following the Agile Methodologies and Subversion control;
- strong and highly motivated team player with good communication skills, who is proactive and provides ideas and solutions towards the improvement of the product;
- able to hit the ground running and work by my own or in a team;
- own the ability to evaluate and learn new cutting edge techonlogies very quickly;
- able to assess risk and impact of new changes to the existing systems; I am capable of analise business and project/product requirements and turn them into technical design;
- well presented professional with a large experience and expertise in the IT sector, with a business oriented mind who can bring new ideas, strategies and solutions to the table;
- great ability of communicating with clients, understand their requirements and manage, develop and maintain excellent relationships with them;
