Expériences professionnelles

Senior Freelance Application Developer

European Commission
Jan 2014 - aujourd'hui
Drew is currently contracted to develop the systems at the European Commission (EEAS and DG SANTE).

The systems are built with: Java, Coldfusion and PHP, with Oracle SQL, and HTML5, jQuery, Dojo, KendoUI, Bootstrap, OWASP and Selenium.

These projects are developed within strict deadlines and budget. There is a peer-review process, we do paired-programming, and have many KPIs to help review our own particular contribution to each project.

These projects follow the Agile methodology: daily SCRUMS.

We create our own testcases and work closely with QA for vulnerability testing and performance testing.

The results we aim for (like every developer), is readable, robust, secure and performant code.
Senior Software Engineer

StepStone
Jan 2010 - Jan 2014
Drew developed the Full Stack for the Online Platform and Backoffice system at StepStone (written in Coldfusion, MS SQL, Coldbox and JQuery / AJAX / JSON / SOAP / webservices).

He was the main developer for the companys' iPhone Application developing the webservice interface between the mobile devices and the search engine.

He also for instance migrated the file system to Akamai net storage, and provided the modules to manage the new storage system.

Drew developed the Pricing System which was at the heart of all investment activity carried-out by the bank (Equity Exotics and Credit Hybrids).

The Core Pricing Engine which he developed, returned risk and spot-prices on any type of Financial Instrument which was passed to it for pricing. It was built in C++, Java, Sybase SQL, Solaris, Linux and XSLT.

This was core development, with very high throughput, and business critical data.

As part of the Quality Assurance team, Drew carried-out regression testing and new feature testing, covering all stages of Bug tracking and Change Request tracking

To achieve this more quickly, and free up time for more specific testing, he created an autonomous regression-test suite, written in Python. It reduced the regression testing from 6 man-days to under 3 hours per release cycle.

As part of the Development Team, Drew was responsible for integrating Cranewares' software with the clients' billing system.

He liaised with IT teams in each client hospital, to migrate their data to Cranewares' system. He performed data manipulation and integration which required ad-hoc SQL and VBscript development.
