Projects

Drive Revenue

Full accounting & practice management system for lawyers. Initially built solo, before scaling up a team that I led to continue development. Backend is C# with Entity Framework & SQL Server. Front end is React, Typescript & MobX, built with Webpack. I am transitioning the backend to use DDD architecture to better express all the rules inherent in the system and moving to Postgres and Dapper.

Roscoe

C# SQL DSL - write SQL queries in C#. The aim is to be something akin to Dapper (in terms of speed and simplicity), but without using strings for the query.

GraphQL Server

A GraphQL backend server written in C# which through it’s integration with Roscoe, converts GraphQL queries into SQL queries. Full custom parser for the GraphQL language & most features implemented.

GPU Sequence alignment

Worked on creating a sequence aligner (Needleman–Wunsch) that ran on GPUs. At the time I was interested in allowing the user to specify arbitrary-length gap functions. I worked on this prior to the Fast Optimal Global Sequence Alignment Algorithm (FOGSAA) algorithm becoming available.

Loans Management System

Maintained a loans management system professionally where I added new features, mostly on the API integration side for the website. The system was a desktop app for the call centre and a web API for the website to facilitate the initiation of new loans. While there, the features I added increased company revenue by $10k+ per month.

Insurance Broker System

Built a new insurance broker system for a high end insurer. The project was Silverlight-based with WCF communication to a C# backend with a custom accounting system. We followed a strict DDD architectural design which meant very few bugs were introduced.

Personal Finance System

Built a personal finance system to manage my finances. Backend in C# & Postgres with GraphQL & React on the frontend.

Team Performance Monitoring System

Built a dashboard from Jira data to monitor team performance & analyze estimation accuracy. C# backend with background services to sync Jira data, React & Victory Charts on the frontend to display the data.

Comic Book Writing Tool

Built a tool to convert a screenplay-like text format into PDF pages for a comic book to hand over to an artist. C# command line tool.
