\section{EMPLOYMENT HISTORY}

\rdated{06/08 - 01/11}{Software Developer}{Integrated Application Development}{Melbourne, Victoria, Australia}
\cvitem{Technologies}{Delphi, Firebird, Linux, KVM, QATime and Git}
\cvitem{Description}{An Australian firm that develops portfolio management
software for a British client with over 10 billion pounds of funds under administration.}
\cvitem{Role}{Tools and framework teams, focusing on clean, simple, efficient code:
\begin{itemize}
\item Narrowed the database object framework API without lose of functionality (lead to easier maintenance).
\item Introduced compression into the logging framework resulted in a 10x space saving for log files.
\item Simplified the log viewer with over 120x speedup (from over 10 minutes to seconds to view large log files).
\item Ensured all bugs were allocated before the start of the work day (followed from log framework improvements).
\item Disentangled legacy code (FoxPro) into a straightforward framework.
\item Improved the robustness of the unit-test framework (inculded removing GUI and popup windows, added parallelism to framework and crash protection with sandboxing).
\item Decreased the overnight build time to under an hour (included running all unit-tests) which previously never reliably completed (utilized parallelism which lead to the dramatic speedup).
\item Lead the adoption of Git which included developing a work flow, migrated 10 years of development history from Starteam, set up the infrastructure and initial staff training.
\item Encouraged developers to employ test driven development coupled with writing clear, simple, efficient code.
\end{itemize}
}
