My industry experience, spanning two and half years, has focused
primarily on web application development. Mostly using Cold Fusion
to integrate and develop Internet enabled database based systems.
Cold Fusion is currently one of the best technologies available
to develop applications that are delivered via a HTTP based web
server. It has allowed me to implement complicated, powerful and
useful solutions in a timely, secure and robust fashion.
Intranet based utility systems:
Staff whiteboard, allowing company employees to register
present status (In, Out, Sick, in a Meeting..) over a geographically
distributed company structure.
Issue management system, to aid in tracking and correspondence
of issues related to particular projects. A form of a discussion
forum with specialisations being role based system privileges
levels and priority settings for outstanding issues.
Role based user security management system, This useful
utility provides for other cold fusion projects custom application
security settings and user authentication/authorisation with administrator
access to manage any number of users allowing a fine grained level
of control.
Enterprise level systems:
Hewlett Packard Asset Management software, Typical of
the majority of modern day web projects, this project integrated
a legacy database using Cold Fusion to provide Internet functionality.
The Hewlett Packard asset management department needed a tool
with which their clients could securely access detailed reports
and functions giving them more direct control of the asset management
process. Client liaison, project quoting, specification, development
and deployment were opportunities taken by myself on this project.
Proquest - Personal financial risk profiler, This system
allows registered users (financial adviser firms and individuals)
to take a variety of questionnaires pertaining to their attitude
towards risk in financial situations. Importantly on this project
I liaised with other web development companies to integrate ProQuest
with their systems following a portal paradigm. This enabled ProQuest's
dynamic functionality to be transparently accessible to other
systems registered users.
ObjectMastery website, Part of the (previous) ObjectMastery
website that gave a case study in comparisons between Internet
enabling technologies such as Cold Fusion, ASP, CGI and Delphi
was developed by myself.
Transact-Online, Online funds management software for clients
of the Transact investment service offered by Integrafin. This
system offers functionality similar to other investment sites,
portfolio transaction reporting and valuations, investment transactions
in unit trusts and shares. Includes a branding mechanism which
can further customise the system with elements from investment
firms identities. Security and reliability of site activity were
of particular concern implementing this project.
