Silkmoth – Tyres And Service

A permanent position I held for 2 years, primarily helping to design a single MVC Azure code base to drive thousands of websites, Tyres and Service Network branded as TyreClick. Inspired by Joel Spolsky’s Stack Exchange Core Engine, but focused around the tyre industry for the whole of the United Kingdom, with the goal of empowering local fitting centres and cutting out the middle man. (Sorry, that means you Black Circles) If you are in the UK give the Tyres And Service branch locator a go, I certainly did and found the experience very pleasing, if I say so myself.

Other roles included MVC greenfield developemnt for high profile company websites, like Burnt Tree Vehicle Sales and EAF Supply Chain

Maintenance of existing web forms code for Constructing Better Health and the introduction to health and safety management systems, occupational health data mainly developed for Network Rail.

Club System International

After passing a few Microsoft Certification exams I was heartily welcomed in to Club Systems International as a Junior Software Developer. At Club Systems we putted golf balls in between cubicles, got expert golf tips from golfing professionals and went to the driving range, allot. Never the less, in the free time that I had, I worked hard to learn how to develop software in a commercial, team driven agile environment.

I had the opportunity to work on legacy Visual Basic 6 golf club management software, do maintenance in Web Forms for HowDidIDo Golfing Community, BRS golf booking integration, Golf Club Websites like Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, AND be a major part in developing a complete rewrite in MVC 3, branded as Club V1 (Named after I left, I take no credit for that). Truly a leader in Golfing software, possibly for the whole of Europe!
