Work Experience
- Deliver C#/.NET integration for a high-precision industrial equipment platform, focusing on reliable interaction with advanced manufacturing and control systems.
- Implement and validate SECS/GEM and XML-based protocol workflows covering machine and control state, alarms and events, recipe and lot handling, and diagnostic notifications.
- Work across Visual Studio, Git, Jira, and multi-repository/submodule codebases to support Factory Acceptance Test readiness and keep changes traceable and reviewable.
- Turn complex equipment behaviours into maintainable service boundaries, robust parsing, defensive error handling, and focused regression tests.
- Lead engineering on a substantial cross-platform .NET 9 / Uno Platform (WinUI) codebase spanning desktop, WebAssembly, Android, and iOS, backed by ASP.NET Core, PostgreSQL (EF Core), and SignalR.
- Design secure client/server flows: cryptography integrated with platform keystores, encrypted payloads at rest and in transit, fail-closed failure modes.
- Implement REST and SignalR hub contracts for real-time features, identity flows, and shared state; extend automated regression coverage across API, hubs, and multi-target clients.
- Ship robust onboarding, localization, and production UX; maintain living architecture documentation for security, reliability, and operational review.
- Drive performance and engineering velocity: cold-start paths, streaming integrations, CI-ready multi-target builds, with AI-assisted engineering under explicit tests and review.
- Optimized back-office trading forms (WPF/WinForms), reducing load times from 45s to under 2s (95% faster), boosting trader efficiency by 75%.
- Engineered asynchronous ASP.NET Web API and WCF services, cutting API latency by 60% and supporting 10x concurrent event updates during peak periods.
- Developed CSV imports for 150 market selections in under 1 minute (86% faster than manual), ensuring data integrity and error-free pricing across all markets.
- Architected multi-franchise system integrating retail operations and supporting nationwide rollout, reducing franchise onboarding by 40%.
- Resolved high-priority incidents, maintaining 99.9% availability and conducting post-mortems to prevent recurrence.
- Delivered modular EMR suite for 50+ hospitals, automating scheduling, pharmacy, and inventory, reducing manual processes by 50%.
- Developed multithreaded MVVM back-end on SQL Server, achieving sub-2-second transaction times for critical clinical operations.
- Created DevExpress-based reporting dashboards generating 200+ monthly reports at 99.9% uptime.
- Packaged and deployed EMR suite via InnoSetup to 100+ client sites, lowering installation issues by 90%.
- Enhanced nano-optical metrology software, optimizing WPF controls and multithreaded algorithms, accelerating image analysis by 50%.
- Built interactive trench-width measurement tool and a license-generation module for secure feature unlocking.
- Architected core framework for multi-domain EMR product, enabling rapid customization and deployment across hospital groups with varying clinical workflows.
- Led EMR feature upgrades and maintenance, refactoring legacy modules, improving system stability, scalability, and team velocity.
- Overhauled DataCenter software, scaling capacity from 2,000 to 16,000 test records and reducing PDF generation from 100+ minutes to 15 minutes (85% reduction).
- Modernized UI with WPF and multithreading, boosting user satisfaction by 40%.
- Developed reliability modeling enhancements that cut simulation runtimes by 90%, transforming previously impractical analyses into routine engineering workflows.
- Migrated MS Access/VBA automation of UK Power Networks (Energy) to a .NET client-server architecture, improving data processing reliability by 75%.
