Software Developer

Description: Firstly, they needed a developer able to create add-ons for Microsoft CRM 3.0 using Microsoft .NET technology. After completing successfully this project, the company outsourced me to some very important companies in Romania and one of them was a Telecom company. Inside it, I become very technical by dealing with very tough challenges and by learning some technologies that you cannot find in an ordinary company. For example I had the opportunity to work with business workflows that managed billions of records using languages such as C++. Another example, I coded using an in-house scripting language very weird but simmilar with Visual Basic. But my main task was to implement a new version of Infranet system provided by HP Romania to this Telecom company wich was customized as their billing system. After I finished my experience with this Telecom company I was sent as a Microsoft CRM developer / consultant on a new Microsoft CRM project. Shortly, I had to implement Microsoft CRM 3.0 in a well known bank from Romania. After two weeks of data gathering through daily meetings I finally sustained and proposed a technical solution / architecture in front of top management people. Achievements: I've took the diploma "Microsoft Certified" on performing customizations and developing ISV solutions for Microsoft CRM 3.0 platform. Main technologies: - ASP.NET - Microsoft CRM 3.0 - SQL Server Main programming languages: - C# - T-SQL - Java - C++ - Javascript

Being a junior developer in this company, I started to work on their main project (on their payroll project) by doing little and specific tasks such as adding a new business condition on a business workflow and make sure that it fits. What I liked the most was the quality oriented philosophy that I found here. They had a QA manager but everyone was trained with this idea in mind. My code was always reviewed by a senior developer who explained to me everything I did wrong. After a while, I worked on some little additional projects and lately I was involved in small teams building some enterprise web applications. in 2003 the company switched from Visual Studio 6 and VB6 to Visual Studio 2003 and .NET framework 1.1 as their main development technology. My main achievements were: - Learned team-oriented work. - Get used with scrum meetings and the scrum project development paradigm. - Successfully finished important projects. - I become a quality oriented coder (this was the company mindset). - Learned for the first time SQL Server and the T-SQL query language. - Learned .NET Framework and the C# language. Main languages: - Visual Basic 6.0 - C# - T-SQL - JavaScript

Junior developer

I coded in C# in my entire career which spans on more than 11 years, started with .NET Framework 1.1 and ending with 4.* versions and the C# 6. My area of expertise is coding financial products (BPM's, accounting systems, payroll systsems, e.t.c). 

I used SQL Server for all financial products on which I coded in my entire career. I have a deep understanding about how SQL Server is working, T-SQL has no secrets for me and i have a deep knowledge that comes from experience about best practices that I am willing to share with you.

I worked with Azure technologies for more than one year (day by day) and I ended up getting an Azure Solutions Architect certification. I can create an architecture in azure from scratch and I am willing to help you and share my knowledge and passion about Azure cloud. I can provide for you advices, best practices, code reviews, the best design patterns that fits your needs, e.t.c
