This service can significantly reduce costs for a company by shutting down cloud servers when they are not needed. I was the lead developer on this project since it started and for the first few months I worked along with 7 graduates to get this project up and running as their Tech Lead. To date there are a few clients using this service and Amazon has agreed to recommend this service to any of their customers that require such a feature. Working on this project has greatly enhanced my knowledge of working on Amazon AWS. I have worked on several POC’s to prove the same tasks can be performed on the Microsoft Cloud (Azure) and they have proved to be successful.

Project Name: Website Uptime Tracker

Description: This project is currently in development. Its aim is to monitor websites, databases, queue’s, ftp servers and general IT infrastructure for users and notify them if there is an outage via email, sms message or chat.

Projects like this already exist but I felt it was a good area for personal development as it opened up the opportunity to use and learn lots of different technologies

As this system dealt with trades, it was imperative that the system was reliable and performed against the pre-defined benchmarks.
