Profile

Skilled .NET developer with more than a decade of hands-on delivery — designing, building, testing and supporting business applications in C#, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, MVC and SQL Server, on top of three years of native iOS contracting in Objective-C and Cocoa. Before software, ten years as an R.C.C and steel structure designer in Gandhinagar, India — an engineering grounding that still shows in how I approach analysis and precision. A known team player with a drive to meet organisational goals through excellent software development.

Currently a Solution Developer at Quantum Asia Pacific, where I own business solutions end to end: gathering requirements from internal and external customers, scoping and costing, developing and documenting the test regime, running the project, then supporting it in production. I work comfortably across a proprietary vendor development toolkit and traditional platforms, and I enjoy the front end as much as the data layer — modern JavaScript (ES6+), Vue.js, React and Node.js on one side; stored procedures, user-defined functions and triggers in T-SQL on the other.

Full solution ownership

Requirements → scoping & costing → build → test regime → deployment → day-to-day production support.

Data-layer depth

SQL Server 2005–2012+ design, stored procedures, UDFs, triggers, T-SQL scripting and data migration.

Security & continuity

Form- and Windows-based authentication, roles and impersonation; identifying systems risk and implementing BCP for mission-critical systems.

Native iOS background

Published iOS work as a contractor — Core Data, Core Graphics with UIKit, RESTful back ends and App Store release management.

Maths & graphics engineering

MathGraphs, TriangleMaths and Trigonometric demonstrate equation string parsing, calculation engines and graphical display — Core Graphics driven, built on top of UIKit.

Engineering tools in the field

PtLoad and ContBeamAnalysis let a structural designer calculate beam load-carrying capacity on site rather than waiting to get back to a desk — instant answers, saved time and cost.
