Web Developer
Stefanini
Developed a Web Platform for an US Private Equity fund association. My responsabilities included testing and bug fixing, as well as developing new features and pages. The application was built in ASP.NET Web Forms and made use of Entity Framework for data access and Bootstrap for the front end. We used SVN for source control and the application was deployed to a Azure Cloud Service. Later we scaled to multiple regions and use Azure Traffic Manager for request performance routing and resilience. Also developed a number of web sites, the majority for private educational institutions in the United Kingdom but also around the world. These responsive web applications were built in ASP.NET MVC and made extensive use of CSS3, multiple JavaScript plugins and JQuery. We also developed an in-house CMS solution which used MSSQL Server for data storage and Entity Framework for data access.
