Development of the award winning e-work workflow package, written with Delphi 5 and Visual C++ 6. I am  involved with the Designer package, which allows workflows and forms to be designed by the user. I have also developed a series of ActiveX components for the creation of custom client applications. Other work has involved integrating Outlook with our software. 

During 1996, I was involved with the development of Prophet, an actuarial system used to forecast the value of life insurance products. This was a 16-bit Windows product, written in Delphi 1 and Visual C++ 1.52. Since the end of 1996, the system has been undergoing a complete rewrite, using a object-oriented methodology. The system has been split into three tiers, using Delphi 3 for the front-end, Visual C++ 5 for the business layer and an Access database for storage. I have been involved with the Delphi and C++ aspects of the code. I have also been using the Select Enterprise tool for analysis and design.

I was involved with several projects, all written for Windows 3.1. The variety of work was wide, ranging from GUI design and relational database handling using Borland Delphi to low level communications using C++. I also gained experience of SQL and working to a quality system.

This job involved working as part of a team on an image processing application. Programming was in C in a UNIX / XWindows environment. I was also responsible for writing a Windows 3.1 application using Borland C++.

Newcastle University Students’ Union, Newcastle upon Tyne.

As a member of a team of four, I helped to organise activities, transport etc. for a week-long event for 2500 first year students. I was in charge of the budget of £70,000. The event was a success, making a profit of £10,000.

Northern Hi-Tec, Lancaster.

This involved designing circuits and producing PCB layouts using CAD software within strict time constraints.

Subjects studied include : programming in C/C++, Pascal, MC68000 and Prolog, software engineering, databases, graphics, DSP, analogue and digital logic design, VLSI, telecommunications, CAD, management science, satellite engineering, computer networks.

My final year project was to develop an IC to perform image processing functions. This gave me experience of CAD software and helped me improve my project planning skills.
