This application was developed in Visual Studio 2022, with access to a database designed and developed on M/S SQL Server 2022. The solution consists of 2 projects, which run concurrently. The first is a WEB API project that supplies access to the SQL Server database. The second project is developed in MVC .Net Core 9 and provides the user interface. Both projects are written in C# and use Entity Framework for data access. This application supports the following features:

CRUD functionality for all Students, instructors, courses, and classrooms.

Class scheduling for all courses, including instructor, weekday and time, course, and assigned building and classroom.

Registration of students to courses once class scheduling has been established.

Provisions to guard against scheduling conflicts for both instructors and students.

Schedule listings available for individual instructors and students.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE:

ITC (TRM Consulting)

Developer

Worked with management to successfully deliver a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), written as a Winforms application in VB 6.0. The projected time for development was originally set to 7 months. I managed to develop and install the application in 4 months.

Software: Visual Basic 6.0 Winfoms with an M/S Access database.

NUI Energy (Versatech Consulting)

Began as a 3 month contract to provide a basic, rudimentary, tool to record the sale and purchase of Natural Gas Transactions on the Commodities Market, and grew into a 6 year development project to eventually provide a complete back office accounting application, covering all of the requirements necessary to support the complete range of Commodity Trading activities.

My role was not only to function as a developer, but also to participate with management in the initial design of the system, as well as provide documentation and user training.

Proceeded to design and develop a complex and comprehensive back office application, composed of more than 100 screens, developed over 200 stored procedures written in T-SQL, and supporting more than 50 users in multiple locations. The first phase of operations was installed in less than 4 months and all major functional components were operational within the first two years.

The resulting benefits of the application was to give NUI Commodity Traders a decisive advantage over similar trading organizations. One such example was an enhanced method for printing itemized invoices, which alone was estimated to have saved $35,000 per month by expediting the process. Application was acknowledged by the company president as the main reason for maintaining their competitive edge.

Provided on going support for application throughout the period.
