 Full architectural design and complete software development of PACE instrument for detecting surface-breaking cracks in steel structures and metallic components.

 Full systems development life cycle

To solve this task, I used the technology: C# v4.6, PRISM v6.1, UNITY v6.1, MVVM, NEVRON Chart, Telerik lib.

  PACE - ACFM® instrument routinely used in high-integrity industries such as Oil & Gas, Defence, Nuclear, Transport and Mining.

 The programme Sequoia EPR is corporate information system for centralise procurement department and control the entire life cycle of a transaction from purchase order to payment of the invoice and synchronise with accounting software

 Responsive web-design for mobile and tablet devices

To solve this task, I used the technology: Bootstrap v3.1, Jquery v2.1, Ace v1.3, CSS3

 Refactoring and code optimization to improve performance

The project applied the technology AJAX to real-time activity reports, tracking and tracing statuses and location of orders, vehicles and people.

  Automate repeating operations, standardise documents and switch to paperless working environment. Unlock and understand data of your organisation with the help of wide range of prebuild reports and real-time activity reports. Give your organisation-structured method of accounting for all incoming and outgoing inventory, effective management of the prices & supply chain.

 The programme is an analytical tool with the functionality to find and provide the optimum financial strategy, compare different scenarios of economic behaviour, evaluate potential risks and volume of necessary financial resources.

 Harmonisation of development
The main difficulty is in adequate translation of economic ideas and trading strategies in mathematical formulas and software algorithms. Considerable time was required for the study of economic and stock market terms and procedures, to develop their programs equivalent. Another difficulty is the coordination of common standards.
 Working with Data Sources
The data that the program analyses is coming from different sources and in different formats. If you analyse the data over the decades, we have to bring together the data and formats stored on ancient mainframes with magnetic tapes and data from modern cloud storage. To solve this problem we had to develop and apply a variety of drivers to connect to different database types, converters formats and algorithms to convert data to a common format and data verification.
 Optimisation calculations
Working with large data heavily overloads computers functionality. To speed up the computation the program uses multithreaded computation for the effective use of multicore processors. Also there is a mechanism for the fragmentation of tasks for the organization of cluster computing.
 Presentation of results
For clear and easy visualization of results of calculations program contains automated systems for constructing tables, charts, graphs with comments. Output and storage of analysis results is made in a universal format that can be used on different hardware platforms and operating systems.

   The Programme is based on fundamentally new methods of learning, built on current scientific research in the psychology of perception and memory.
   All users of our programme are linked up into an overall online network, where lexical databases, training modules and algorithms, exercises and study results are being constantly updated. The programme uses the most advanced system computer analysis of the speech and pronunciation.

- Development and coordination of architecture and technical specifications
- Development of the entire code, user interface elements and design
- Testing of automated and manual
- Installation and deployment on a variety of server platforms (Linux, Windows Server 2012) and various versions of desktops OS (WindowsXP - Windows 8.1)
- Technical support, automated upgrade and release new versions.

   It is completely made in the WPF technology using MVVM design pattern
   Multilingual (20 most ubiquitous languages) user interface with the possibility of immediate switching.
   Asynchronous and multi-threaded parallel calculations are used in critical and heavily loaded modules to accelerate functionality.
   Customized visual components were developed for rich user interface.
   Installation and deployment on various versions of desktops (WindowsXP - Windows 8.1)
   Automated upgrade and release new versions.
   Automated (NUnit) and manual testing.
   To extend the capabilities of this program were created additional tools: to create audio lessons and tests, and a module for a special network for information exchange and communication between all users of the program.
   License protection of the programme is provided by implementing several levels of control and protection with a linkage to hardware, protection against spoofing real dates, data encryption and special independent module checks the integrity of the program and the legality of use.
