  • Pole Energy

    The Pole Energy online shop project was truly interesting and creative, but on the other hand a big challenge as well.

    The goal was to create a secure, modern, multilingual online shopping application. It has taken about a year, from the initial idea until the full version, during 2009 and 2010, with the first release at the beginning of 2010.

    At the beginning of the project I have created the application architecture, entities, relations, and use cases. As we did agree to loosely follow Agile development process, the architecture was redesigned several times during the project.

    During the implementation, I have lead a crew of experienced developers in the effort to achieve high quality and performance.

    We have decided to go with the Microsoft stack, using ASP.NET MVC enhanced with jQuery to create the user interface, using Entity Framework, LINQ, and C# for the middle tier DAL (Data Access Layer), and Microsoft SQL Server as the back end.

    The project is successfully running on the cloud platform at www.poleenergy.ch

    Car trading B2B

    During 2oo8 I worked on the vehicle auctioning platform for a Swiss company.

    Frequent discussions with my close associate Saša Klačar, who did the requirements collection and communication with the client, resulted in well documented software architecture.

    After defining the system entities and relations, I managed a team of experienced developers went on to implement the system using ASP.NET Web Forms for the front-end, .NET, C# and SubSonic for the middle tier and Microsoft SQL Server as the back-end.

    I have also designed the database, scripted SubSonic, implemented a part of DAL, and created a Windows service for XML data imports from an external source.

    Following the loose Agile process, we have first released a user interface mock-up, which triggered several system redesigns and resulted in better specification in the following releases.

    The better part of the project was done, but it was at a point stopped by the client, even as they were very satisfied with our results, but it was caused by the company’s internal problems.

  • Netviz

    Netviz

    During a good part of 2006 and 2007, I have created the software architecture and managed a team of experienced developers to create a Healthcare industry related visual networking tool for a Swiss consulting company.

    System architecture specification was my first focus, documented in detail and frequently communicated to the client.

    The project was done using loose Agile process, following the mantra “Release early, release often”, so system wide changes were continuously propagated and implemented.

    The architecture and system entities and relations design were growing and changing during the project, and I am proud to say that we have come up with a great product in the end.

    The software was implemented in Java, using JUNG Graph framework and XML as the data source, using JUnit for unit testing.

    The highlights

    • Complex data queries (could be performed using commands as well as GUI wizards)
    • Data filtering
    • Advanced visualization mechanics
    • Data source was flexible (easily changed from files to web service for example).
