Experience

Project ED | ASP.NET MVC

My client required a consolidated solution for the multiple tasks and activities performed by the client's operations and Woodland Creation officers and also enable them to smoothly and dynamically cooperate and share information with other departments within the local network.

Project Details:
· The system was implemented as an intranet website using the .NET and ASP.NET MVC technologies.
· The site is hosted using IIS installed on a dedicated server within the client’s local network.
· Windows authentication is used to authenticate domain users.
· The data is stored in an MS SQL database located on an MS SQL Server installed on a separate physical server.
· The system uses the Entity Framework for accessing the database data.
· SSRS reporting services are used to generate various reports.
· AJAX and jQuery are widely used to create a convenient-and-comfortable user interface.
· Project ED integrates with other systems such as the mobile version of ED system using the ASP.NET Web Services located on the web server.
· MSMQ is used to deliver messages between a number of ED subsystems.

tED (iOS)

The client required a tablet application that could run on iPad and interact with Estate Database (ED): a consolidated web solution used by the company woodland operation and woodland creation officers to perform their ongoing work activities.

The purpose of the implemented application was to compile the most valuable ED modules and allow the users to execute their duties without connecting to the Internet.

A Few of the Required Features:
· Updating and synchronizing sites’ tasks, condition assessments.
· The full-stack of site administration and management activities including grant contracts, objectives, key features, generation of purchase and sales orders, tracking of monitoring and harvesting activities.
· The users’ permissions and access levels in tED were to be identical to ED.
· The user interface needed to be simple, welcoming, and intelligent.

Shoplinkz | Ruby on Rails

Shoplinkz.com is a social commerce platform where you can organize everything you want to buy, discover new products and shop with Bitcoin.

I joined the project in the middle of the development and was requested to apply new look and feel (created by a dedicated designer), rewrite some parts of the system, and implement new features.

Art Design Carta | AngularJS and Ruby on Rails

https://artdesigncarta.com is a digital platform (available online and via a mobile app) that aims to connect dealers with designers—both online and off. It is a trade-only online marketplace for design and antiques.

As a member of a development team (about ten members), I was involved with different tasks such as system design, programming, bug fixing, deployment, and more. I also developed some parts of the website using AngularJS and Ruby on Rails. In addition, I created many subsystems for the Android mobile client using Android Studio and Java.

Outlook Add-in for OroCRM System | WPF

https://oroinc.com/doc/orocrm/2.3/admin-guide/integrations/outlook-sync
My client wanted an Outlook add-in that would synchronize contacts, tasks, and calendar events between Outlook and the OroCRM system.

To accomplish this, I created an Outlook add-in using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The add-in communicated with the OroCRM server via a RESTful web service exposed by the OroCRM system.

I also created a custom installation that supports both per-user and per-machine installation. WiX toolset was used to create the installation. An automatic update of the add-in was implemented as well.

Enterprise Intranet | SharePoint

The implemented enterprise intranet portal became the central point of the company's data storage and workflow where employees can search, view, and manage documents, calendars, and tasks in accordance with the level of permissions assigned to them by the system administrators.

Permissions can be assigned on a site, library, and document level. Users can choose to keep track of updates in a document by a means of automatic system notifications or through the document version history feature.

Each team area can be uniquely customized, extended, and adjusted to best suit the team's specific needs and tastes. The portal is integrated with other internal systems like the photo library, PDR, help desk, and the HR system. An integration with the HR system ensures the portal gets automatically updated with the most recent HR information.

Users also have the ability to manage and customize their publicly accessible profile personal data. A separate area is dedicated to internal communication within the company, where employees can share news and invite to events.

Efficient HTTP Request Handling

This code was used to send HTTP requests from an Outlook add-in to a CRM server. It uses WSSE authentication and automatically corrects the potential differences between the server and client time to ensure that WSSE authentication works correctly.

It can also retry requests in case of failure. It receives a server response and parses the response header to extract the metadata returned by the server; then an HTTP request should be sent from a background thread. The main (UI) thread also can monitor all of the requests from all of the background threads and abort any of them if necessary.
