• Source control: GitHub, methodology: scrum - 2 week sprints, api documents: swagger.

• Developed single page application on Angular 2 framework.
• Re designed component in Angular to make them reusable by other components.

• Developed a single page application on AngularJS framework – developed MVC 5 Web Apis and OData Queries – developed Entity Framework models in a domain driven architecture style – designed business components such as automated tasks, workflows and etc.
• Unit Tested JavaScript code with Jasmine and Mocha, and developed AngularJS components (Controllers, Directives, Filters, Services) using TypeScript, Experienced ES2015 version of JavaScript.
• Architecture: Layered/Service Oriented/Domain Model/MP/OOD/MVC Backend: HTTP restful services, OData web services, Entity Framework 6, MVC 5 Methodology: Scrum with sprints of 2 weeks fully engaged TFS Frontend: Bootstrap, html5, Angularjs, TypeScript, SPA AIM was an in house web application I developed for TransGrid in a team of 8 on scrum methodology using the best practices in architecture and development.
• My responsibility was to develop a single page web application including about 20 modules based on latest technologies; Majority of the job I did was in frontend using AngularJS and TypeScript, I got my hands on all components of AngularJs such as directives, services, filters and controllers and I tried to use best design patterns such as event driven (observer design pattern) on the client side, in backend also I created MVC web Apis on top of entity framework 6.
• I also designed and wrote the user stories based on the requirements coming from business and tried to follow the best practices such as INVEST user stories or SMART tasks, I used TFS for this purpose.

• Leading a team of 4 developers – designing the architecture – preparing the user stories – running the scrum agile methodology – Developing best practices in architecture and development.
• Architecture: Layered/Service Oriented/Domain Model/MP/OOD/MVC Technologies: C#, Code First EF6, WebApis, Odata Queries, Owin, WWF4.5, AngularJS, Bootstrap, HTML5, Moq Unit testing Methodology: 2 week sprints on scrum Client: bootstrap, html5 and Angularjs, single page application pattern Server: MVC5 and Web Api 2.0, DI, SSRS, SSIS Database: MSSQL – CLR functions Achievement: Eliminating the cost of 400K being paid to the third party yearly by delivering the robust product Achievement: Decreased the application process time by 7 minutes (more than 50%) by boosting the performance in the new system comparing to legacy one.
• Achievement: Reduced the time of change request delivery time from weeks to days by using flexible and customizable workflow engine and using good architecture styles and components.
• Achievement: The product delivered was well running enough to be selected as the main framework for other modules for development, the company now takes into account the product as an enterprise application including different modules, the framework was designed by myself.
• Fynix was an enterprise app for which I was working in a team of 4 developers as a solution architect / lead developer, I led the development team to ensure that deliverable is a quality product and follows the best practices in architecture and development, Fynix had different modules such as loan variation, dashboard, complaints management, drawdown, constructions and etc., there were thousands of applications in each module running and all functions were processed by workflows in an asynchronous architecture to boost the performance and increase the flexibility and support the long running processes, the app was a single page application built on AngularJS, I involved myself in all.

• Designing the components and architecture styles and developing different apps.
• Architecture: Layered / Service Oriented / Domain Model / MP / OOD / MVVP Technologies: C#, WWF4.5, MVC 4, Web Api, Odata Queries, SignalR, WPF, app fabric caching, Telerik unit testing Methodology: Agile Client: Silverlight, Knockout, WPF, Html5, Telerik Kendo Ui (responsive), jQuery, d3.Js Server: MVC5 and Web Api 2.0, WCF Services, DI, Windows Azure (Cloud Based) Database: MSSQL Achievement: Implemented of an idea of advanced search app which is used in the enterprise Achievement: Implemented an architecture style called form oriented first used in some apps Achievement: Implemented rich client using d3 js In a team of 2 developers I built a framework for a multitenant application in financial service sector (assess based finance), because of the nature of the project (MVC – Knockout – html5), flexibility and customisability and performance were most important quality attributes of the system and that was why the abstraction level of the system was highly important, I developed reusable components such as Advanced Search which gave the users capability to define their queries of search based on the model structure dynamically, I developed a mobile-web app (Telerik kendo - responsive) for estimate and invoice modules and also a WPF and a Silverlight applications (MVVM) as rich client applications.

• Developing and testing a web application, used all principals of good coding (SOLID) Architecture engaged: Layered / Service Oriented / OOD / MVP, AOP (Post Sharp – policy injection) Technologies engaged: C#, MVP, WCF, Watin Unit testing, velocity caching Methodology: Agile Client: Html, Asp.Net, jQuery, Ajax, Json, Telerik Asp.Net Server: MVC5 and Web Api 2.0, WCF Services, MSMQ, Windows Azure (Cloud Based) Database: MSSQL (designing store procedures) Achievement: Reduced loading time of pages by half using jquery and making it rich client Achievement: Implemented good design using SOLID Super site was the project that I built in a team of 8 developers, a web app (Asp.net, MVP, WCF) for the superannuation comparisons, because of high load on the app, the performance and concurrency were most important concerns so we did lots of unit testing, load testing, caching, presentation testing and we followed design patterns such as AOP (attribute oriented) and MVP.

• This is a microservices based product implemented in node js, services are hosted in AWS as lambda functions implemented by serverless framework
• Communication between services is done by services such as SQS.
• There is a Graphql service (lambda functions) for orchestration between services (BFF).
• DB is mongoDB.
• A simple UI implemented by react.
• CQRS patters is practiced in some services coordination.
