• Dependency Injection. (DI)

• Project (1/5) – Undertake a major rebuild for Health & Safety Institute’s standalone WPF application. Fixed all REST issues within their black box dependency libraries. Disassembled all dependency libraries, patched, cleaned up, fixed internal issues, hot points, etc., added some DI, optimizations, and repacked for NuGet. Replaced the entire UI with a new one per specification and request. Revamped all build configurations reducing 70% of the original code. Upgraded format and build targets to support SDK-style / .NET Core. Created a brand-new installer. Revamped all build & release 100% from scratch using Advanced Installer. Custom actions originally side-chained through the installer required .NET 2.0 CA’s through WIX tools be packed. Converted all CA’s to PowerShell to be side chained instead to fulfill the requirements and remove perquisite dependencies. Completed an estimated 4-month major rebuild within 6 weeks working 60-80 hrs. per week.

• Project (2/5) – Architect UI and Bluetooth LE solution for Hemex Health’s embedded device used to test for malaria and sickle cell anemia. Use dependency injection for cross-platform .NET Core 3.0 SDK solution targeting Android, UWP, and IOS. Features include, custom overloaded page renderers, toasts, message dialogs, and resources for publication.

• Project (3/5) – Created a new ASP .NET Core 3.0 MVC application POC for an undisclosed client. Features include control panel / CMS for account provisioning. Twilio / SMS integration.

HelloSign integration.

• Project (4/5) – Repack InstallShield installer targeting VB6 / Crystal Reports / Access / & COM. Relink, upgrade dependency components, and revamp installer branding and authoring. Fixed UI issues with original installer.

Migrated project from XP to Win10.

• Project (5/5) – Repack Bluetooth Framework API for NuGet and future endeavors. Disassembled API.

Cleaned up hot-points.
